Announcing new video options
YouTube no longer wants to be the video platform for all. Conservatives must look elsewhere. New video embedding technology enables this.
As regular readers know, Alphabet, Inc., owners of YouTube, have decided not to let YouTube be what YouTube always has been. To be specific, they are disallowing accounts on the basis of content. For that reason, contributors will have to move their videos elsewhere. CNAV will be ready for them. To that end, CNAV announces a new video embedding extension that will work with more platforms than YouTube alone.
Introducing the Advanced Responsive Video Embedder
The Advanced Responsive Video Embedder, or ARVE, is an extension of WordPress, available in light or pro versions. It will support almost any video host that uses the <iframe>…</iframe> tag set. In addition to good visualization during embedding, it lets an editor set titles and descriptions at will. This list shows every video provider that ARVE will support, thus far.
More to the point, ARVE will support BitChute.com “straight out of the box,” meaning it will work with the video web link (URL). Here, for example, is your editor’s own recital of the Declaration of Cybernetic Independence:
And here is Justin Bellucci’s montage of President Donald Trump’s most inspiring statements. The accompanying tune is, of course, “Silent Running” by Mike and the Mechanics.
ARVE does not presently support all providers as easily as it does BitChute. But it will support any provider that provides source or “src” identifiers for the iframe tag set. For example, here is a commentary by Dinesh D’Souza on Tucker Carlson’s unfortunate dispute with Sydney Powell:
Down with censorship
CNAV urges all its readers to decamp from YouTube and explore providers like these. As you can see, CNAV is ready for them.
Alphabet, Inc. is practicing censorship. That Alphabet is not a government office, doesn’t matter. Its executives clearly hope to merge with those of other social media, hosting, and other providers to create a Department (read Ministry) of Information. And by information, CNAV does not mean technology. We mean information, as in propaganda.
CNAV joins BitChute, Gab.com, Rumble.com, and hosting provider epik.com in standing against censorship. This new versatile video embedding technology is only the beginning for our site.
One last note
The tag set <iframe src=”example.com/embed/whatever” …></iframe> is still valid. If ARVE cannot embed a video directly, this method can. Here is our Declaration of Cybernetic Independence on a brand-new alternative video host, NewTube.
