Youtube 2023 Award Contest - Win 100k Bytes

Not since 2013 has the Youtube award been made available to HF. So let's get to promoting HF again.

Requirements:
1. Minimum of 60 seconds
2. URL of HF must be shown in the video
3. URL must be in the description
4. Must be uploaded to Youtube
5. Start a thread in an appropriate section embedding your video
6. Must have audio and video
7. Must not be private and should have embed enabled

Video Content Suggestions:
1. Hacking Tutorials
2. HF usage tutorials
3. HF promotional videos
4. Gaming cheat videos
5. Testimonial on why you love HF

Please place your video in this thread along with the thread you created on HF with the video embedded to qualify. I will grant an award and 1000 Bytes to every qualified participant for their effort. Best videos (judged by me) will get these bonuses (plus the 1k and award), 100k bytes to the top video, 50k bytes to 2nd place, and 25k bytes to 3rd place.

This offer/contest will likely run for many weeks. I don't have an end date yet. Estimate 2-6 weeks.

Note: Rules subject to change without notice. Just in case I need to make adjustments.

Thank you.
Damn, 100k bytes is a good price for like 30-60 minutes of work.
I wish everyone who competes goodluck and quality time recording the video! :)

EDIT: Do participants score on views likes and comments or is it purely based on the actual quality and your opinion of the video?
Pretty nice incentive that everyone who has a decent video will get an award. I'll be going for it. Looking to learn about video editing so this will come in handy.

Likely judge based on production quality and message. Not on views/likes/comments (engagement).
I went ahead and made a video.

I hope this can qualify. xD

I might actually be able to do something decent with this regarding site usage.

You might want to also have some options for youtube shorts. They're getting the most traffic at the moment.
I received mine from the 2018 that you hosted so all the best to those entering in this one 💚

Good idea actually. Forgot about that format. What's max length on those?

They're 60 seconds max, wonder if it's possible to embed them here though.

I was wondering about that too. I have to look into it.

One day I should just auto convert a YT url into an embed. Maybe I'll do that for shorts if the code is different.

This is URL structure:
https://youtube.com/shorts/9qpMuFrTEKo

Looks like it's the same thing though.



So the short can be easily embedded into HF. I can probably alter the YT mycode to look for the short version too and just display it like above.
Cool, good luck to everyone doing this, not sure if i will yet.

This is slightly embarrassing but I forgot about that in 2018. Well the new award image imho looks a bit better and you can absolutely earn the new award too. The requirements of this contest are different. I did the 2018 one hoping to get promotional videos. I use this one to this day on the Registration page to entice new members.



That video has over 550k views now.

Very sad I wasn't the first, but Second the Best I suppose!

I'm not very good at editing but I tried making something. I was thinking if the FBI part could be too much or missleading but I did include "play hack games" so I hope it's obvious.
