As I look at the front page of BB, for example, there are numerous video links to a cloud service provider notorious for taking down said videos for bizarre reasons and with little recourse.
And yet I (and you) still keep using and linking to videos hosted by this cloud service provider because of it's ease-of-use and popularity.
I guess I could go create a MediaGoblin server and opt-out, but I doubt I could do it as efficiently or with the same level of exposure as I can on the popular cloud-based video service.
