i think for many people, tossing videos up all over the place is just a way to get started. the value may come when you as a content creator find your voice/style/focus and start to get scattered subscribers or just awareness and attention which can gradually build up over a year or 2.
in other words, value doesnt always have immediacy attached to it. so using the youtube etc despite bad terms can still be ok for many creators. others will never want to give away any content with undesirable terms. as a rule of thumb, i agree with jay... but surely there are many many videos that you can put out there that you can let go of. sull On 5/17/07, Frank Sinton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Doesn't have to be one or the other.
