Shouldn't the 5 PR promo videos be on YT? You know, precisely to... promote!

I was moaning about the 5 promo vids not being on the Syracuse DVD as bonus, then realized WTF?! Promo videos are meant to... promote records! Selling them on home video was a plus for the fans, but their original purpose has always basically been to be on TV and now on YT, to give a taste of the record you're trying to sell.

So, well, it would just make sense for WB or the estate to just put them on YT in HD, wouldn't it?

But no... of course not... sigh

That would actually makes sense. So do not look for it to happen. WB has new owners but the same old stupid stuff is happening.
