Can the New Post Guidlines encourage devs to make web builds?

I think that many playtesters would prefer to play web builds on itch or use Steam playtests rather than downloading executables, but that many newer game devs don't realize how much it matters for some of us. Should we add language to the New Post Guidlines under Unpaid Playtest and Paid Playtest suggesting that posters consider offering one of these options?

Playtest video exchange

I will record a 20-60 minute video of your game with voiceover commentary and suggestions.
Your game must:

  1. have no gore or animal harm.
  2. be availalbe to play on steam or in a web browser. No .exe downloads.

If you find my video helpful, I was ask that you do the same for me: make a video of my (turn-based 4X) game with voicover.

Is SquidVox legit?

A google search lead me to squidvox.ink which looks like a forum for indie devs to trade playtest videos. I can't find any information about it or even contact info. Does anybody know anything about this? On the one hand it feels a little sketchy, but on the other hand I love the idea of what it says its trying to do.
