Videos on myLot / myLot

Wouldn't it be nice to share videos on myLot as well? Here we have the opportunity to post comments and share one picture to complement the post. I can understand the reason for this. It really encourages us to write and to engage, the primary purpose of the platform. But even so, since there is the opportunity for visual enhancement with the one image, wouldn't it also be nice if we could also upload videos to complement our posts? Videos also encourage a lot of engagement and I guess the length of the video one could share could be restricted also. I guess there is a workaround to this in that we can upload and share our videos via YouTube, but it would have still been nice to share this content through myLot itself. What do you guys think?

Just upload them to youtube or facebook and share the link, there's no need to have an upload feature here

Yeah that's the workaround I mentioned. But when you upload a video onto another platform isn't that encouraging the person to move off myLot and on to say YouTube or Facebook for more videos etc and engagement on there? I think there are reasonable arguments for hosting on myLot as well.

@AlisaTR We've done it this way for over 12 years, there really is no need to have it here

@JolietJake I hear you, and I respect your point of view. To each his own I guess.
