We don't want to degrade the experience of the users of this site, rather we are trying to improve it. Using youtube video could be one potential area for this. Here is an example :
Alizée - Il Jouait Du Piano Debout (July 12th, 2001)
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C3fKIDNlW_A?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C3fKIDNlW_A?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
As you can see that the video has already got over 1400 views. One can see details about the video on that page itself and it also contains links to AAm and other sites. So, we can expect wider reach through our videos.
Current video section is good, but hasn't been updated for quite some time now. With youtube, we might be able to update it more frequently.
Videos will be blocked, but still we can have lot of videos in our video section through youtube.
