 It's super cool and an underutilized Podcasting 2.0 capability! Not sure many are aware of it as our space is audio dominated, but I'd love to see YouTubers make the move.

You know me, always trying to spread the good word of decentralized art via RSS. 😇 
 @Nate Johnivan tried to post this video on YouTube actually and it kept getting blocked even though it’s his band. So I asked @boobury if we could help and he hosted Nate’s video on his own set up to see how well it would work and the proof is in the pudding. 

Fast forward a few months and Death by Lions just played the 2nd ever Satellite Skirmish. 
 Waaat, how is this not a bigger thing? I don't think people are aware that video is as supported as audio.

At least I definitely wasn't. 
 
 Video podcasts were huge over a decade ago but YouTube made it cheaper and easier for people.

I was a huge fan of twit.tv back in the day until it became about nothing but phones. 
 Problem is you've got centralized places like Pootube that'll handle the streaming and hosting of videos (at low quality, of course, but FREE) with a simple click or drag n' drop while RSS requires figuring it out on your own. Turns out, that's  a big barrier for people lol 
 Yeah this is true. I feel bad for people who think 1080p on YT is 1080p for real. Compared to a decent blu ray, especially the audio is superior.
