Trip Reports YouTube

I'm a new kid (in an old body).

I noticed a few YT linked posts in the Trip Reports thread. I couldn't decide if they were a good fit with the site so I hadn't posted any of my stuff, but I have replied to one with a similar post linking a video of mine.
Is there any mileage in these 2 things.

1. Making a thread for just YT posts of Trip Reports and Flight/Airline/FFP reviews - to keep this stuff in one place.
2. Is it possible to create a community for FT YouTubers to congregate.

Thanks for your time reading this.

I never visit them.

If someone wants to post a flyertalk trip reports they should do so and keep their youtube to itself. Makes me wonder if the intention is revenue creation.

This is exactly why I thought it better if it went to a separate thread. It's inevitable that there will be increasing trip reports done this way.

Perhaps theres a moderator in Trip Reports I could have a chat with about this? I hoped posting in a support channel might be the best way to find one

I am not the moderator of the Trip Reports forum, however, this is a topic that has been discussed by the moderation team.

We generally allow links to members' YouTube reports, however, the posts containing the links must contain sufficient information to be of value to FlyerTalk without having to follow the link to the video.

Please take a look at the following FlyerTalk rule before posting links to YouTube videos:

Rule 7: Linking to content on other websites
FlyerTalk is here for the purpose of sharing meaningful information. Don't simply post a link by itself to another source, such as an article or blog. (See also, Rule 9 Posting Copyrighted Material.) Posts containing such links should contain enough information so as to be contributive to FlyerTalk itself.

If linking to your own blog, to a blog on behalf of someone, or to a blog of which you are a periodic or regular contributor, you must identify that fact in your post and you must include enough content for the FlyerTalk post to stand on its own without following the link. Do not post repeatedly in a manner that has the effect or purpose of driving traffic to a blog or website.
To establish a FlyerTalk community for YouTubers to congregate, please contact NWIFlyer, our Community Director.

I think its reasonable to share the link as long as a text version of the report is included as well. That would be in the spirit of Rule 7 at least. Sometimes a video is the best format for these kind of reports, I certainly watch a lot of TikTok/YouTube when booking with a new airline to see what its like.

I think thats a good way to do it, trip report followed by YT tagged on the end.

Keep video trip reports to one thread. Include text summary too. Works fine.
