YouTube viewership down?
BSD2000:
Well, it's been two weeks since YouTube forced me to the new design and so far:
:b1: New subscribers have slowed to a crawl
:b1: Video views have dropped significantly
:b1: Comments on my videos have all but disappeared
When I look at the analytic data charts for each video, it affirms this conclusion. Anyone else find their viewership and activity down since switching to the new design?

You've got a fantastic Youtube channel are there any others doing high quality
vinyl videos? any suggestions?
GoodVinylLover:
I'm not happy with YouTube either >:( Now they make having a Google+ account in order to post comments... enough is enough, I'm considering leaving YT.
Has anyone tried Vimeo? I created an account and uploaded a test video:

I hate what Google has done to YouTube. YT was merely used to have a huge pool of users for Google+, so that it could compete with facebook and twitter.
If it wasn't for people I'm following, I'd have left YouTube immediatly.

You're right! Just today a YT colleague told me that you NEED a Google+ account in order to upload a video directly from your Smartphone. What'll be next? >:(
Vimeo's quality of audio/image seems to be at least as good as YT's. The appearance of the site is more refined and clearer IMO. Also they have a greater degree of tolerance to the violation of Copyright while YT blocked maaany of my videos... Vimeo is better than YT overall but its weakness is the unpopularity; which is not bad in a way...I mean, YT is way too overcrowded and there's a lot of crappy videos and rude people, but Vimeo is maybe a bit too unpopular...I think I even hear the eco of my test video in there LOL. On the other hand, maybe Vimeo is a good place to start a nice and polite vinyl/analogue community :) There's only a few videos of analogue music in there... what do you think? :)
