why? I don't see anything wrong with what he's doing. Everytime you or I find something cool on the web we would make a new thread about it. The only difference here is that its part of his blog, but I dont see that as a problem, nor something that should really make it any different from what you and I would normally dofaysal said:if you want to share stuff from your blog dude just make one thread about your blog/channel and update it, better than making a brand new thread just for a 2 second thing.
Most of your posts have either been from your Youtube channel, or your blog. These are spaces where you curate and manage your own content. If people like it enough, they will subscribe to your Youtube channel, or check your blog frequently.DesiBhangra said:Exactly^ i dont understand why it makes you a difference whether i post a link that i thought was worth sharing from another site or my own blog. Unless you think no one should make a thread daily for people that actually come here to find something interesting. ???
Bit of a gray area no? I don't see us complaining to dheerj and sulman on their podcasts, or jasmine on her blog. I suppose those are directly related to Bhangra so it tips favorably. It's probably irritating because it feels self-serving due to the frequency of posts. Plus his first video clearly had links to make money, so that primed us. But I can't think of a good delineation here between all the different type of posts. Maybe he just needs better content?Ashveer said:Most of your posts have either been from your Youtube channel, or your blog. These are spaces where you curate and manage your own content.

I help run a website that would be of interest to people here. I don't make a post every time we have a new post up, because of the reasons outlined above. Maybe BTF disagrees?
I thought about the podcasts/jasmine/5jab's blogs too, but had the same feelings as you did, in that they're directly related to bhangra. Moreover BhangraPulse is pretty much exclusively made for BTF, and Jasmine/5Jab post once in a blue moon. Also all three entities are regular contributors to BTF outside of an account that just posts stuff in off-topic.Swi said:Bit of a gray area no?

That I didn't know of, in which case yeah.. I no longer support creating a new thread to get "hits". Just create a thread linking us to your blog, and update it as often as you please. Probably the best idea.Swi said:...Plus his first video clearly had links to make money, so that primed us....
