Haha that is nice and weird at the same time.
Just 2 minutes ago, I finished my first introductory post, due to the same reasons and basically with the same narrative.

It is an interesting time we live in, if you are concious about what is happening around you!

To answer your questions about video hosting alternatives, have you looked into d.tube the service that is connected to steemit? It is a great platform that should cater all the needs. In the past there have been some issues (atleast for me) with the availability of the service (speed/buffering), but for the past few days everything is smooth. It seems like they realized the importance of that time and increased in server-power!

Wish you all the best on your journey :)
