Video is doing great, but hub not on a niche site

   So I am a YouTuber and I often create videos that go with articles and articles to go with videos. This cross-promotion has done really well in the past.
   
   I have a video with about 70,000 views that I created an article for (YouTube Video Stuck on Upload or Processing? Here's What to Do!)
   
   I want to cross-promote but I don't want to link from my channel to discover (so I've removed the link for now.) Can anyone offer any advice on how to get this piece on a niche site?

      Hi Melanie, I am a YouTuber, too, your article is well structured and informative. The latest guidelines mentioned that the first image should not have text, so maybe you could use your main image further down. Also, you may need to add more pictures as the minimum should be three. A small point to note: Twitter is now called X (insert facepalm!). Good luck!

   That article looks pretty good to me. I might have formatted a few things differently, but I don't think that would prevent it from going to a niche site.
   
   It looks like you published this weeks ago. Have you recently edited it and submitted it? If so, what site did you submit to? (I think TurboFuture would be the right one.) It takes a little while for them to review so be patient.
   
   I wonder if some of your external links were the initial problem; though, I think if an editor reviewed them they'd be okay but who knows?
   
   Your Discover url will redirect to the niche site when it moves, so don't worry about that. Unless you are concerned about the SEO impact on your YouTube channel by thinking to Discover, which I guess is a thing.
   
   Love that you have Subnautica content on your channel BTW.

   I too have produced YouTube videos to accompany articles and I think it's a great way to keep readers engaged and stay longer on the page.
   
   At times, it can be a challenge finding exactly what needs done to get an article moved to a niche site, even after reading all the guidelines and going through a checklist. Sometimes, it could be just a matter of adding some references or a short bio that matches the topic.
   
   If worst comes to worst, maybe contacting staff can help point you in the right direction?

   The article looks good to me.
   
   I would:
   
   Add your Youtube vid
   
   Resubmit your article for niche site inclusion
   
   Email editors if it's turned down and ask them what the reasons are.
