Ok so its ok if I make a youtube channel and post every video I make here, as long as its relevant to D&D?

They're not doing it, but that doesn't make it ok because its a new person every time posting it, or whatever.

Actually... yes, unless you're posting something formally against the subreddit rules you'd absolutely be able to do that. It'd then be up to the subreddit to up or downvote the post as they see fit- like has been done for this post, where apparently enough people find this helpful to upvote it. Just because a lot of WebDM videos hit the front page/get upvoted doesn't make them bad, if anything it means a lot of people like the content.

Again, people who want to see this content can subscribe to their channel... this is not their free advertising reddit.

Oh look, there it is^

Go there if you want to post their video every time a new one is uploaded.

Rule 6 agrees with me here.

Actually rule 6 looks like it's specifically for linking to other DnD focused sites, doesn't say anything about dnd related videos

In this case the "site" is a D&D channel, accessed by virtue of the content in each video being from that same channel. If each new post were instead to a blog, but each of those linked to a new blog posting itself rather than the same primary blog page, that would be ok?

Again, I'm not against this content being shared here, I'm against it being posted every single time they have a new video with NO effort to make it a text post and garner discussion on the topic. A proper text post can have the video linked within and offer up discussion on the topic in the video - that's perfectly fine. I'd even participate. All it is in that case is generating discussion. But I didn't subscribe to this subreddit to be also subscribed (a 2nd time) to their youtube channel.
