Question non snarky question: Why do some people opt to host their videos in vimeo instead of youtube? Are there benefits or is it the cool contrarian thing to do atm?

Great article. I hope to use it to do something similar soon :)

Vimeo publishers with paid subscriptions have a greater degree of control over the appearance of the video player. In particular, they can remove the Vimeo branding or replace it with their own branding. On the other hand, YouTube always displays its own logo on its video player.

Vimeo offers better bitrate/video compression than u2b, customizable player and arguably better stats.
