I just read a steemit post about view.ly and had to test it :).
The first test was a direct upload from a very small video from my iPhone 6 - that did not work (video format not supported).
However the second test was to try a pull from one of my videos from youtube and that worked great

Actually this is what I always wanted - just a very very simple possibility to post videos quick and reliable.
Maybe regarding their hosting capacity they can talk to the sia people and combine the power of steem and sia for this project :).
However one big issue I guess will be legal ones (copyright, ownership etc) and who is finally responsible for any broken law...
But to the creators: awesome job regarding this is a proof of concept at the moment.
