Question for seo people - Embeds vs Stealing videos and uploading
you can self host download videos. just keep a dcma form open. if you have no clue why even start a site? you sign up 2007 so you know wtf is up  |
There are two easy ways to start a tube these days.
1= super easy
2= less super easy
Ive been doing 1, which i dont think the industry has any qualms with but correct me if im wrong.
1 - scrape tube videos and embed them on your tube site. No criminality there. The videos are hosted elsewhere and the webmaster is simply showing them.
2 - take those videos ( which were likely already stolen anyway) and host them yourself.
We could argue what is right and what is wrong and i would likely agree with the ultimate outcome of that argument. BUT that isnt the question i am posing.
Why? - because the whole industry does this already, does it not? Videos are downloaded anonymously and reuploaded with rewritten meta info and then rebranded. Is that a big industry secret?
Even if it is, im not saying im for either method one way or the other. Im askng what is the best method for seo, just for fun!
1 - Downloading already stolen content and renaming it and reuploading it
2- or embedding that very same stolen content from a theif
Which is better for seo?
