Oxiita has chosen to use the above links because of two things:

Reliability and accessibility

Reliability – Most links and pages on the internet are not credible sources for information so we ensured that the pages we visited had the approval of widely acclaimed critics and had a popular viewing or number of visits.

Accessibility – Other links and pages may be highly reliable, but they may not be easily accessible. We ensured that the links that we chose didn’t ask for viewer’s email addresses or details just to enable them to view. This reduces the chances of phishing and pharming sites taking information of users for future manipulation.
