This is the first time I'm submitting one of my own videos, but I've got to say I'm very proud of the result :-)

Filmed with my new drone Mavic Mini 3 Pro a few minutes from my house.

It's a good video, and I upvoted, but doesn't this constitute a violation of the "no self link" policy? My understanding was that there's no flexibility on that...

What exactly constitutes a self link?

If your post is not a Sponsored Video (the only allowed way to promote your own content) and any of the following is true about a particular video you are considering submitting, it is a self link, with NO exceptions for any member:

*The video is associated with your account on the video host (i.e., you uploaded it to YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
*You played any role, no matter how large or small, in any aspect of the production of the video.
*You are in any way responsible for or involved in marketing, promoting, or any other manner of proliferating the video.
*You could receive any form of compensation (monetary or otherwise) as a result of the submission or subsequent views.
*You are somehow represented in the content of the video (whether photographically, artistically, audibly, or metaphorically) without the approval of a site administrator.

I understand entirely, to be honest in the 13 years on the Sift I've never really read the rules

Actually I just discarded it, so that should allow the re-post.

After the new post is up, let's see if we can *dupeof this over to the new one. Curious.

@toferyu Just fyi, looks like a great video! And we appreciate you being VideoSift member for 13 years!

It's just that the guideline against self-links is at the core of the site, so someone else will need to post your video for you.

Any time, glad to help, and I didn’t want to steal the votes anyway.

Thanks @newtboy!

Good to know the dupeof didn't work - I predicted it was because this post is older than the new post, and my senses confirmed my prediction.
