As Rustyspoon says - anything that requires hoop jumping will get minimal responses...and fair enough too.
Soundcloud is popular in the showcase becasue many members have accounts there and can comment in Soundcloud as well as the forum.Soundclick, Reverbnation, and a host of others work as do links to people's own web sites etc.plus the processing crush on Soundcloud, whilst significant, isn't as bad as many others. It's best to pick what is readily accessible and gives acceptable quality.

Creating a music video can be done very simply with some free and easy video generators, a quick search will delivery oodles, and the sound quality can be reasonably well managed within them. Videos get many more play when posted on social media than a link to a streamer.
Creating and uploading your own video, rather than relying on Distro etc. is a better bet...it'll take a few minutes to a few weeks but is worth it from my perspective.

ave a look at the videos currently on the 1st couple of pages of the forum...they vary in type, style & input.
Personally I'd rather PG host a server for 320 MP3s so that we would all have a reasonable understanding and expectation regarding quality...320 not great but certainly not awful. I know they are disinclined from a cost & responsibility perspective but it'd be good.
