Vox’s YouTube conduit down?

While I can now compose on Vox (not, incidentally, something I could consistently do from Christchurch, either, so we can now conclude the problems were not ISP-specific), is anyone else having problems with the YouTube conduit? I know at least one other user is.
It gets me a bit worried how things fall down here regularly. But I don’t think we can blame Vox exclusively. I am sure the other site, in this case YouTube, is to blame in part, for perhaps changing its specifications.
Still, YouTube clips are going to be fewer in number for a while, I expect.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, if one is handy with the Embed feature and/or HTML (I recommend a HTML/WYSIWYG Greasemonkey script).

I had problems with YouTube/Google when I regularly wrote reviews for WHM-- as I told you, for one, Vu had to switch search engines. Warner Music Group threw their weight around hard and I can't help but wonder if our being dropped from the Google search engine was because I have that Monday Monster Mashup group, which is full of illegit content.

If the YouTube conduit is down, I say people should strongly consider Vimeo, perhaps permanently. Videos that were removed at YouTube, or so I've seen so far, have remained at Vimeo. You can probably figure some of the reasons why.

I rarely embed, because I like how Vox indexes what we import. But I might do actual uploads to Vox from now, as it seems we have one fewer choice.

I promise we are working on this. I'm so sorry that it's broken.

Thanks for looking into this, Daisy. I was worried when I didn’t see anything on the Team Vox blog.
