What about the GNOME Design channel[0]?

Also, I thought Youtube had a concept of channels where a single place
could be referencing and advertising all of their channels?

My concern when uploading to Youtube is that we're contributing to a
centralized Internet, and as a Free Software project we should care
about the decentralized Internet cause. Of course I'm aware that we'll
still have the videos on the GNOME server, but that's not enough as
people will lazily rely on Youtube in the end, or may even stumble
upon things on Youtube and never even be aware that we actually offer
the videos elsewhere (with slides and everything).
