Sometimes I will share a resource on YouTube here. I think it is good on its own for the community, but really its a good intro to share with friends and family.

People often push back because of the link being YouTube, fair, but simply saying find a front end is kind of entailed. Many that are public go down and never come back, and the link does have the video ID at the end of the URL so if you are self hosting you can just load it up.

Cross-post the resource to a loops instance or something like that and link to that? Making sure you do the upload yourself also helps take care of the "instance dies so link does" problem with frontends, at least in the short and mid term.
