YouTube vids directing to private sites

Any suggestions on overcoming personal resistances to clicking on vids that don’t reside on YouTube?
Since obviously its better for traffic & assuming bandwidth requiriements are handled.

I hessitate to click on these myself, for fear of malicious attacks mainly that I’ve had from some sites hosting vids. For me, its has to be a major site like msn, etc. to continue on

Putting this another way, is it worthwhile to host directly from your own site for those who don’t notice or don’t have this concern?

  • Guessing results from those who follow the YouTube posted site link will be rather low. Maybe less than 15%.
