I understand your caveats about the temp hosting sites -- I've never liked them much myself -- but don't people usually link back to the LJ post that announces them? I saw that with Jo's anime vid, and it seems like most of the time people link back to that and then when the link runs out, they request and she links again... and some of the pages I've visited with YSI announcements seem to have way more comments than I'll ever get with my vids site. But I do get what you're saying.

And yeah, I agree about the history (something that you have constantly done an admirable job at cheerleading for, not to mention organizing and supplying info for), it's just that... lately I'm not sure the history of what I've done is of interest to anyone. I should probably have someone who's more competent at math than I am run up the stats and supply me with percentages, but the amount of people who click through for a PW vs. the amount of people who hit the site and leave is astronomical when I just glance at my stats page. And the amount of people who clearly already have the PW and DL the new vid vs. the people who hit that first page on a daily basis is just... again, astronomical.

It's not a cheap proposition and as I get closer to running out of space (which means either taking off the least-DLed vids or buying more space) I feel even less enthusiastic about this. The cost-benefit ratio is just... not even there for me. There *is* no benefit, it feels like, lately.
