Yes, but how will you attract the multitudes to that backwater site?
Because "backwater" is exactly what any SSA site will be, especially
compared to YouTube.

YouTube is all about discovery. I can't tell you how many wonderful
things I have discovered on YouTube. Almost without exception, I wasn't
looking for any of them at the time.

That's the idea right? We want people to discover soaring. To do that,
you need to go where the people are. At any given moment, there are
millions on YouTube. How many are on the SSA site at any given moment?

Just as YouTube offered a clip on Hitler's gliders to the person
watching the SSA video, it's just as likely to offer an SSA video to
someone watching that Hitler glider clip. That person just might
discover soaring.

That's what you want to accomplish...right?
