Well, no, as it turns out, but I thought it was.

That's what spawned this whole surge of vid polls (and vid meta); [livejournal.com profile] cupidsbow and I were talking about getting permission to rec vids. She said she didn't and she didn't want to start, and I said it sucked but I'd been told it was mandatory. And then it occurred to me to ask the vidders.

What they said, basically, was that it really isn't necessary to ask permission. (Although a lot of them like to be asked because it's almost the only feedback they get.)

Of course, I will be going into much greater detail on this one in the follow-up posts to this poll (and the one before it, which was for vidders only). Probably way, way more detail than anyone actually wants to read.

I know very little about vids but figure that they are out there to be watched, commented on, and recommended, like fanfic.

You are entirely right about this. (Now.)
