I just figured maybe there was some history with the OP that I wasn't aware of.
Well, FWIW, one of the Editors did say in-thread (in response to my question about just that), that there were other issues involved.

So if the video had been anywhere but youtube, it would have been self-promotion.

Pretty much if one posts a link that could make them money, it is self promotion.
This includes blogs.
Your "if the video had been anywhere but youtube" line makes no sense since many folks monetize their channels. Still, I believe there is a difference between self promotion and providing the community a valuable resource in the form of an informational video or blog post.

Let me explain. An author, blogger, average Joe can all do self-promotion here. There is a forum dedicated to nothing but self-promotion.
The problem arises when the person posts a self-promotional anything to a different forum.
The video in question was posted in the "What should I buy" forum.

If the poster is making money in any shape, form or fashion off said blog, video, whatever it falls under self-promotion.

Now if I find a video or blog or website that I find useful, I can put it in the appropriate thread or start my own. If I have made said whatever it goes in self-promotion.

I hope this clears things up.
