Your video is great, but I just tried to find legendary movies on youtube worth watching. I don't want to make it a long video list, so I'll pick movies that has a great number of viewers and show different techniques or players in the best way.

Updated the guide with NEO SLIDE and as you already saw, a last word about how to improve and find potential teams etc.

I still feel I miss a lot of information on tournament and events.

You're only going to pick videos that have loads of viewers? That's ridiculous! You could make the best TM video ever, but not have any friends to share it with, so no-one will watch it. That doesn't mean it's a bad video; and remember, all videos start with no views at all. Why should the amount of viewers matter at all? Surely all that does is the quality of the video/it's instructional use. I'm surprised that you've chosen such a shallow approach, considering everything else about the guide is so selfless.

Ok let me rephrase that sentence for you. I pick movies that show legendary players,teams, records, etc, with a good editor quality aka usually has a lot of views unless the movie is new. Good movies that present spesific techniques or driving styles are also welcome.

Regardless of this, I don't want the list to become a battleground. I just want to point the users in the correct direction over at youtube, and they will probably browse many similar and good tm videos in the "Related videos" section at youtube. Depending on how people respond to this feature though, I might just remove it all if people keep making a big deal out of it.

TM-tube has a lot of great content for sure (already linked We are trackmaniacs to it), but considered they almost shut down the service a while ago and its current lack of activity, I prefer to link to youtube movies. You will mostly find all tm-tube videos over at youtube anyway, because the buffering speed over at tm-tube is horrendous to say the least.

Okay, that sounds more reasonable. I just think that it's impossible to get views on YouTube unless you pay loads of money/sell out to big companies. But it's good to see you are taking actually quality into account.

I don't want it to be a battle ground, I just don't want it to get to the point where you say: "Your video would be perfect for my guide, but you are not popular and don't have many views so I can't use it." That to me would be tantamount to prejudice.

That's fine with me as i understand znik's point and agree with it
