Someone asked me what the difference is between Vimeo and YouTube. Am I correct that Vimeo is more of a place for artistic, documentary, or higher quality content? And I know I'm correct that YouTube is a place where the same can be found, but along with an infinite amount of idiocy. I think Vimeo isn't really overwhelmed with dumb stuff. Is that accurate?

It's really hard to say what is real about anything, if you think about it.

Im not sure if it still the same, but Vimeo used to be solely just for artistic purposes, and non commercial direction. On Youtube you could use it for money making purposes.
Also Vimeo promotes artistic endeavors by its staff. Youtube focuses more on views and likes.
That make sense?

YouTube is for people who shoot things with their phone.
Vimeo is for people who shoot things with their camera.

I think of vimeo as positioned for more serious filmmakers and digital artists who plan and cut more professional pieces; Youtube for the unedited 99%.
But, Vimeo has bandwidth restrictions. So if you create something that's widely shared, you may run into additional fees, or being unable to serve your video (I think.... never had to worry about this personally).

Youtube commenters are also the angriest people on the planet.

Upload and processing in vimeo takes more time. I think this fact ended up working like a filter for bullshit.

i think theres a actual difference in video quality, where youtube makes all the formats possible following a compression guideline (240p to 1080p) and vimeo has a more robust video compression, where quality is over file size.
so for quality video content you should go to vimeo, and for content that is not so visually oriented (like weekly shows) and you want to grow a user base, you should go to youtube
youtube is tv
vimeo is cable tv
