Vimeo is Home To Filmmakers & other artists.
You Tube, well, is You Tube.
Vimeo is rarely blocked, while You Tube gets blocked in many places, if only because of the Utter Stupidity of certain content creators.
You Tube is blocked in China. Vimeo is not blocked in China. It is blocked a lot in North Africa & The Middle East. It is blocked in Brigham Young University. It is blocked in The Pentagon. You Tube is a bandwidth consuming distraction.
Jenna Rose Swerdlow’s Video “My Jeans”, appears on You Tube, where she’s called many unprintable names by the “ILLITERATI”, which populates You Tube. A couple of better versions are on Vimeo in HD & more entertaining than on You Tube.
Even that “Scion Of Bad Taste”, Shane Dawson, has an outstandingly produced video on Vimeo, called “Switch, Superluv”, which has a bit of “Ferris Beuler” Style in it as a Music Video. “Fred” is seen in HD on Vimeo with a much higher quality.
When I produced “XX-Opening Of 2012 Knights Of Columbus International Free Throw Basketball Championship”, it was viewed in Nations where You Tube is routinely blocked. The Country with the most complete viewing audience is Algeria, followed by Pakistan, The USA & Morocco, then Egypt, Saudi Arabia & in Europe. This video was converted to Black & White to take the video to the next level. The Countdown from 1 to 20, utilized Roman Numerals. The Inspiration came from a Super Bowl Telecast on NBC Sports from several years ago. Music was supplied from the Vimeo & Splice Apps. Black & White came from the(No Longer Available)Silent Film Director App. Titling came from Splice App. It took about 5 Hours to put this video together. Queens Neighborhoods are depicted in Black & White Video, rather than in color. The plan was for a full coverage, but the Whiny You Tube Only Crowd, objected to a webcast of 2012 Coverage.
This Opener is an artistic statement. It also shows that NYC is not confined to Manhattan Island, for people got to see the Real NYC & not just the Networks version of it. And in the 68 Countries where viewers are to be found, many of these countries now received both a more accurate & artistic portrayal of another NYC Borough. Most Knights Of Columbus Int’l Free Throw Basketball Championship Coverage is exclusively on You Tube & in colour. For me , Black & White is making an artistic statement. That this opening is exclusively on Vimeo, is a Statement that You Tube is not the only game in town. Chances are that someone in Afghanistan & Libya, may have missed this work, had it been on You Tube. When I spotted Cameroon as having a viewer, it means that Africa is the Big Viewing Continent of this special video. The “Global Village” just expanded, beyond North America, Europe & Asia. The Opener was seen on all 6 Occupied Continents. I am honored.
Glad to be a part of it!

Is You Tube The Censorship Site?
18 DecWhen they can treat a Catholic Mass as a Commercial Broadcast, it means that the “You” has gone out of YouTube.
it’s just another broadcast network.
