    If you just had made a quick note on the OP saying:

    “EDIT: video host changed as requested”

    Or something similar.

    And added a note in the reply to my comment saying something like:

    “Hey, I changed the video host, you should be able to view it now!”

    I would have been fine, as it stands now, you hid the fact that you changed the link, which borders on gaslighting.


    It is common etiquette to add an EDIT tag with a summary of changes made to post when major changes happens.

    It makes for clear communication and can clear up mistakes.

      Thanks for explaining it so nicely. I wasn’t aware about all this. When you pointed out today morning that you don’t want to open an unknown link, which actually directed to my Google drive, l uploaded the video on my peer tube handle and then shared the link.

        I am sorry I came of as abrasive, I have been on online forums since the early 2000s, and picked up some useful habits over the years.

        One that applies here is to mark edits clearly, especially if they are major edits and made after the conversation has started.

        Sadly I have also picked up some bad ones, where I forget that not everyone has had the same time online and picked up the same habits.

          I haven’t spent a very long time online, so not aware that such minor things do matter.

          You definitely deserve a thanks for your patience, and for pointing it out so flatly.
