All users should be allowed to post youtube links in the top line threads. No reason to discourage people from adding more video content on here.

Yeah, surely you can automatically filter links by URL?
Have a whitelist or something?
The whole idea is the stop people spamming their own Hive links.
Not general news, YT videos, Spotify embeds etc.

Agreed. We should allow the flow of information and entertainment especially video. People love to consume video content and not allowing people to post them freely is a disservice.
I would feel tempted to drop links to my youtube channel. But then again would that really be a bad thing if it was embedded into leo and you could listen to my podcast while threading??
Plus the YT video you post might be of interested to some who see it on here. So I would think it takes things to a different level.
it could be really useful in increasing the use of the threadcast tag. It’ll help increase name awareness for podcasts like mine while also leading to pretty heavy activity on threads. A win/win!
Certainly people could do that. That said I would think those spamming their own YT channels will be less than those who are doing it with posts. After all, you might get clicks on YT but not monied upvotes.
True! It’s unlikely many people will come to threads just to spam links and if they do there can be other mechanisms to kill them in the algorithm. It’s likely the links will come from people like me who only thread often
I know I'd go completely wild with music recommendations :-)
If that is what your interest is, why not? I have been dropping music too. It is a great way to stimulate engagement. Plus a link in the top thread, people can listen right from the UI.
yep, I agree, it would be much more practical to share content quickly.
i agree. youtube & spotify preview links need to be whitelisted. #music can bring threads to life. #feedback
Okay. Which do you want. I hold Khal down and you hit him or the opposite?
well if anyone is holding Khal down, they might want to watch out. i hear he likes that kind of thing.
I'm thinking way ahead ...
That was the most epic unboxing ever. That gives me an idea!
I have an idea to do this but disallow Hive blog links because people just spam their own links and that’s why we disabled in the first place
Yes. Or even the peakd links to although you might be right about the hive.blog people being the main culprits.
But even if you just open up YT and Spotify links it might be a good start.
yep by hive blog I actually meant any hive Ui (including INLEO.io) and its links would be disallowed in top level threads to stop people from blog link dumping
Ah ok. That makes sense. I think threads should still be allowed although I guess rethread handles that.
If possible, I think it would be optimal if blog/post links is disallowed but allowing video/music content from hive. Perhaps a function like with images can be implemented? Those are links, but show just fine as an image
Non hive links could eventually be a problem but that would be a long way out when tons of people with youtube channels are using threads. At that point you could charge a small fee
I know I'd go completely wild with music recommendations :-)
I agree with this. I get more views on YouTube and I can bring in a lot more traction to Hive
