Personally, I don't really bother to post YouTube links whenever I get a chance to do updates... but I feel the same way about this, and I'm glad you brought it up. It's the least we could do to help promote these producers who have jumped through the same hoops as everyone else to share their work there, as annoying as the site continues to become. :-P

And just to throw this out there as well: I also feel in the case of unofficial YT uploads that if someone has also gone through the trouble of contacting producers for permission to reupload (for subbing purposes or otherwise), then those videos should get second priority in addition to that, as opposed to the first random, descriptionless or badly credited uploads one comes across (i.e. "No description available," "I own nothing," and/or "Credit goes to author(s)" with no actual links to the original video. Re-ups like that should be absolute last resort only if it's that pressing to have a YT link for a song... at least, that's how I feel about it).

I know that idea seems kind of redundant, seeing as we already have the actual NND links available here already, but like you said, it does help with keeping video links from going dead here.
