Seems like someone was trying to do something like this, can't remember who.
Hmmmm, I haven't searched the entire site, but did I look through every suggestion and support thread before I posted this, and I didn't see anything about an Indietalk Youtube channel.
EDIT: I even googled it, and searched youtube just to make sure it didn't already exist.
I'm not really sure how a YouTube channel would work? Most people post videos here not so so they're seen, but so they're seen on their own page. We're aiming at a partner account, even if someone is watching content we made, if it's not on our channel then it doesn't really help.
May sound selfish? Maybe. But it's businsess/building a fan base/getting ready for future big promotions and more.

I disagree, I think that videos on an indietalk channel would drive more interest to the filmmakers than posting videos on their own channels in most cases. Call it collective bargaining power, with interest as the item you're bargaining for.
Why not just create an INDIE TALK playlist? I don't want the rights to my short films to get tied up with someone else's account, especially with the new AD REVENUE aspects of YOUTUBE.
Anyone can create a playlist and name it INDIETALK and start selecting videos for it.
A playlist is great. A channel that favorites videos too could work.
It's not as much as who owns the video as who get's ad revenue from it. You do have to activate it, but why wouldn't you?
I'd be for either of those.
If it's a playlist or an accounts favorite videos as a list, then the individuals still get any ad revenue from the videos. If it's uploading my (or anyone else's videos) separately on a new account, then I would be dead-set against the idea. Youtube may even flag it automatically as identifying the video as someone else's intellectual property causing confusion and unnecessary problems.
Not unless you flag the video or file a DMCA complaint.
Your questions have all been answered, so the only thing I can think of is that you don't want your content on someone else channel. Unless I'm missing something. If that's the case, It's not bad to think that way, it's normal, and I completely understand. I apologize if this comment offends you. I mean no disrespect.
I referred to them as questions because you stated them as answers, and I was finding it difficult to reply to them as statements.I have my movies so that any content that matches mine is automatically flagged and removed. If someone tries to upload a matching file, they will get a warning that it is already uploaded on YouTube.
I don't remember asking any questions.
I am not offended by anything you've said. You are completely right, I do not want any of my content on someone else's channel as an upload because I sell the broadcast and distribution rights to almost all of my short films, so I make money and having anyone else have any level of rights to them complicate matters and may cost me money.
It's simply a matter of personal choice, not right or wrong, better or worse. We can easily get into the land of why I want compensated for my work and other people just want exposure, but that too is subjective not objective.
