The post has lots of downvotes and almost not discussion on the content. OP: feel free to re-post it. I believe this has been very unfortunate! The content (now properly linked) deserves better acknowledgement from our community.
If you won’t post the video properly, I won’t watch it.

Nice one, your reply to me here came after you changed where the video was uploaded and edited the link, yet your reply mentioned nothing about that fact.
I thought that sharing the video is far more important.
If you just had made a quick note on the OP saying:
“EDIT: video host changed as requested”
Or something similar.
And added a note in the reply to my comment saying something like:
“Hey, I changed the video host, you should be able to view it now!”
I would have been fine, as it stands now, you hid the fact that you changed the link, which borders on gaslighting.
It is common etiquette to add an EDIT tag with a summary of changes made to post when major changes happens.
It makes for clear communication and can clear up mistakes.
Thanks for explaining it so nicely. I wasn’t aware about all this. When you pointed out today morning that you don’t want to open an unknown link, which actually directed to my Google drive, l uploaded the video on my peer tube handle and then shared the link.
I am sorry I came of as abrasive, I have been on online forums since the early 2000s, and picked up some useful habits over the years.
One that applies here is to mark edits clearly, especially if they are major edits and made after the conversation has started.
Sadly I have also picked up some bad ones, where I forget that not everyone has had the same time online and picked up the same habits.
I haven’t spent a very long time online, so not aware that such minor things do matter.
You definitely deserve a thanks for your patience, and for pointing it out so flatly.
I’m afraid to click on this Google Drive link. :D
The downvotes came from when OP posted a random Google drive link instead of selecting a proper host for the video. OP then quietly changed the link.
The downvotes mostly came from the bad hosting of a video, and are still deserved as OP never mentioned that they changed the video host, which is bad.
FYl, the google drive link is not random but leads to the video in my storage.
That is the point of a GD link, it leads to a file in someone’s storage on GD, the point is that it could point to any kind of file, and as a random reader, I have no way of identifying the content before accessing it.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake. This is the fediverse, and l’ve got to be more open.
