Can I post non monetized video reviews?

I have a small non monetized YouTube channel. Can I post written reviews and embed a video review? I don't work for a marketing company, I don't get paid by manufacturers, nor is my channel monetized. If I get a sample for free to review, I will include a full disclosure. I've posted a couple of reviews already, generally had positive feedback from other gearheads.

Someone suggested that I state I'm a shameless youtube plugging my channel in the signature box.... I edited that a little and put in "I make non monetized YouTube videos"

Please let me know if I'm complying with forum rules. I should've posted in here first and got the okay first.

Embedding video is fully within the code of conduct here.
Our gripe is pretty much against those that post an alluring title, followed by an offsite link only.
We're even ok with those that post just the text of an article with a link to a full pic/video offsite article.

Looking forward to your shared content.

Thank you gentlemen! That was really fast and helpful. I appreciate the help! See you guys around the forum!

Again, as I said, I wasn't trying to rain on your parade. The content and appearance of your posts were just suspicious. No malicious motives were intended, on my part. You got your go-ahead, so please disregard my suspicions. Your content is relevant to my interests. I was just curious as to whether or not you were trying to do the forum a solid, or if you were here to take advantage for your own gain. Either way, those that matter have spoken. Sincerely, have a good one.

@txbk. I know you're looking out for the forum. Good on you for that. You're a forum supporter and you have my respect and gratitude. I didn't show you any disrespect over in my thread , I even complied to your suggestion. I try to make respectful posts. I write a written review in the post so that people don't actually have to watch the video at all if they dont want to. I embed it so they don't have to leave the forum. I don't post a subscribe link or any other type of link. I'm just sharing my experience with people who might be intertersed. Maybe I'm totally wrong here, but I think with my humble little contribution- I'm adding a little extra content to the board. I would think it's a good thing.

Have a good one too fellas. I'm saving up for my first carbine! Just got my first hand gun last month with the help of a rebate I seen mentioned here. I got the M&P shield 9mm.
