Yes. Stop being so butt-hurt.

You should be happy people are enjoying your video, not hoping they leave a bunch of comments to boost your ego. Check your views for whatever personal gratification you need, otherwise put embedding back on so people everywhere can enjoy your video and be happy they are doing so.

Yes because I'm so butt-hurt, nice intuition. The point is not because they linked my video, its that they linked my video without even asking or warning me. Like just because they work in mainstream media they are above being considerate. I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine

You posted content in the public domain. Do you wan an amateur reporter badge and certificate from them?

You said so yourself that disabling embedding doesn't work on the news site, now all you're doing is screwing over some kid with a penguin blog.

You're being butt-hurt as recently as the post I'm quoting, it doesn't take intuition to figure that out.

I'm not sure what your gripe is in this thread.

You shot a video, which is pretty non-descript, and by all intents and purposes anyone could have captured (and probably did).

Then you decided you wanted to post it onto YouTube for the world to see, because you thought it was interesting and unique (which it kind of is, you don't see penguins escaping everyday).

The minute the world wanted to see it, you didn't want them to see it anymore and are taking steps to lock down the video so people can't see it or at least be directed to your YouTube page where you can bask in the glory in comments and likes.

All this for what?

Fame? Notoriety? Money? Glory? Ego? Something you can tell your friends?

Trust me on this, once a video on YouTube becomes "popular" it'll spread and you can't control it. Some people will even steal it and upload it as their own. As for getting something out of the video itself? You won't, unless you become a YouTube partner which takes some time to be approved and by the time you become one, nobody will really care about the penguin that escaped at the zoo.

Google "Chuck Storm" and you'll see why I know this.

Just be happy with the hits. On a side note the Penguin enclosure is a blast to visit, watch them diving and running around.
