Nah, I would not apply the dickhead moniker to you or that post as the videos you posted are relevant to your blog and apparent profession at the Brooklyn Music Factory.
You likely have a following of music lovers etc. whom take interest in those things. You are using your blog to 1) share your experiences (with content) and 2) share things you enjoy with others that enjoy your flavor and genre of posts. Most importantly though you did add content, context, actual typed text to explain why you posted the videos, why we might enjoy them, where you found them etc.
So no, that I would see for what it is and that is sharing of your likes and dislikes on your blog. Granted the financial aspect of STEEMIT in regards to youtube Authors could be iffy. Especially in the music business as artists and labels can be extraordinarily aggressive when they find their works being profited on in some form or fashion that does not reward them. Regardless, I would say what you are doing is cool..
However, if your entire blog was just videos, no context, no text, nothing.. and you posted one every 30 minutes for no apparent reason then I would at that stage call you a dickhead. If you went through youtube and just found videos with a high amount of views and randomly vomited them all over STeemit just for the sake of it, again with no content, context, or reason for sharing then again I would call you a dickhead.
As it stands now, I like your blog.. I'm more of a Reggae type myself.. folk does not do it for me.. :)
Yeah man, respect!
Did you check out Vin Gordon on that post, some really cool reggae going down! I love reggae, I come from the town where the original UK Bongo International was.
Sweet.. but going back to the subject here.. https://steemit.com/@labony He has vomited out 20 bird videos into the introduce yourself section over the last couple hours.. Spam city.. and nobody here does anything. They read this post, but do dick about it.. What he is doing is simply pushing down authors that take time to write a good introduction post with his bullshit posts.. He is the cancer that we want to cut from here.. Do your part, look at his blog and flag that shit, any with a payout especially..
Yeah I get ya, I have checked out his blog and found it to be somewhat shit! but from a bigger pov maybe those little penny upvotes he is making are all he has to feed his family back home. His content is not offensive per se, its just shit.
It's offensive if you look at it from the perspective of posting bullshit every 15 minutes in the introduce yourself tag, pushes authors of the list that may have actually put some work into an introduction in the hopes of getting noticed. It pushes authors of the list that may actually know how to write and be able to create content that elevates this site, it may make them go unnoticed, discourage them and cause them to give up.. No matter how you slice it, it hurts the site, serves no purpose, and has a negative impact on others aspiring to get noticed.
Yeah. @pawsdog I 100% agree with you. Pictures and videos in posts must be used to improve your content. Comments of pics and videos are appreciated. But best it works as reminiscence of your content.
Here is one my example of, I think, good use of videos!

Just out of interest, I made a post using other peoples video content. Does this fit in with what you call "some dickhead here making money on it" ?
