Okay, maybe it has been answered before but I haven't been able to find it through searching...Why do people post the previews and covers of videos to imagetwist.com (and other like sites) when you can post the pictures here at AO? Is it just a bit of greediness?My problem with imagetwist and other file hosting sites is that they tend to make things pop-up as well as being a harbor for spyware and malware, not to mention that it's aggravating to have to view another site for the previews.It seems like this just started happening over the last year or so, or at least that's when I noticed it starting to happen.Can anyone give me a clue?Quote:Originally Posted by lolilover97266Is it just a bit of greediness?YesQuote:Originally Posted by lolilover97266Okay, maybe it has been answered before but I haven't been able to find it through searching...Why do people post the previews and covers of videos to imagetwist.com (and other like sites) when you can post the pictures here at AO?
