Foggy Brittany warming up in the morning sun

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

@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.
