Do you think this is blogspam?

We have recieved several submisions from u/Kikiwanderer and I'm not sure if I should consider them to be "blogspam" or not. So I need your opinions!

The most recent submission is a collection of "jump-through" video tutorials. There appears to be little in original content on OPs site. As a moderator, this is my dilemma... should we direct traffic to the original content (in this case, individual YouTube videos) or do we direct traffic to the blog site?

My preference is to direct traffic to the original source when possible. What is your opinion?

I see the dilemma, but having them all consolidated is really nice! I guess you should encourage the submitter to make self-posts that link to all the tutorials, rather than linking to a blog?

We don't get many post as it is on here, and it's nice to see consolidated videos. I'd say it's ok at this point, but if it gets out of hand for some reason, then I would pull the plug.

I'm sorry that you feel that we don't want you to post. Your posts have been a useful addition to this group. I believe the general concensus is, posts that add value (ie. collecting together a selection of "good" tutorials from all of what is out there) are good additions to the subreddit. Please keep posting your links!
