Idea for advertising flashes?

[Underload]

I was on a recent skimp of flash games strewn throughout the Newgrounds site, and I enjoyed one game so much that I contemplated putting a playthrough of it up on Youtube with the creator's permission. From that one idea, another small one popped into my head. And that idea was about creating a Youtube channel where a group of Newgrounds regulars review, commentate, and play through flash games by the flash creator's request. This is an idea I'm throwing out there, so give me your honest opinions.

Why not just make a website or small forum dedicated to reviewing and writing walkthroughs for Flash games? It'd be a lot more accessible to people with slower connections, it'd be easier to write for (since a lot of people don't have microphones and JewTube videos with text instead of sound are gay), and the process for making a new submission would be a lot less arduous. Just a suggestion.

Because Youtube is more popular than any forum. People are more inclined to watch a video review instead of reading a column that reviews the game. Besides, websites cost money, unless you use an anonymous free forum riddled with advertisements and potential spam. On a Youtube channel, you just make a video.

People with slower connections have slower connections. They just have to deal with it. And whoever doesn't have a microphone will have to sit this one out and just watch the videos. I'm assuming that people will like this idea, though.

If you can't afford $2 a year, you don't have enough money to pay an internet bill anyway.

I was suggesting a column-based thing because I hate JewTube videos. They're boring and most of the time the people that make them have annoying voices. I'd rather just read an article on the game.

Rather. I refuse to believe that it costs 2 dollars to buy and maintain a website per year.

Subscribe to EGM or something. A video is much more entertainment for an unbiased person than reading a wall of text.

I'm not asking people to join this or anything of the sort, I'm asking for a 5 word opinion on if this idea will work. "No one goes on Youtube" is not a viable opinion. "This idea may work with enough backing from the community", on the other hand, is an acceptable opinion.
