Having caught up on all the content on Vessel and using that as my sample size of their service, I'm not that impressed. It feels clunky and 'flash based', like those websites from the early 2000s that were needlessly animated and would take twice as long to browse. The lack of resolution options is a killer for me, being in Australia with crappy internet and download limits, I'd much rather say 'only show 720p, and never 1080p' which is something I can do on youtube. As others have said, there's only the 'HD auto' or 'on' option on vessel, and it does seem lower quality.
 
I'm a daily watcher, I go and catch up on the several videos posted by the various channels I'm subscribed to; and I'd have to remember to specifically go and check vessel for a new LTT video. Even as a free service, this is a barrier, unless you're going to tease the newest vessel video on the youtube one, I'll likely forget to do so. It will also inhibit me from linking my friends to your videos in that week long period before it is on youtube, which is a shame as I like to discuss certain things with them.
 
I can understand why you are doing this, and why you need to, but maybe vessel needs to have some kind of youtube integration, where it can grab your sub list and embedd the videos, letting you stay at one place? Even as a free service, I currently can't see myself switching which is a shame, as I want you guys to succeed and be around 5ever. I hope the service matures, perhaps gets more of the viewers I watch, and more customisability... and the ability to double click to full screen.
 
Edit: Another thought I had; its a bit jarring when there are referrals to youtube features on the vessel video such as annotations, and any chance of a better URL than.5455069242570208 ?

First I wanted say that I have no problems with you guys enabling people to pay for early access to your videos. But as of now I see no reason to use vessel over YouTube. It looks to me like the "hd" videos on vessel are in 720p, that's a massive downgrade from the 4k and 1080p60 videos we have been getting on YouTube for awhile now. The interface of vessel could also use a lot of work, finding videos that I want to watch is much harder than on YouTube despite the fact that YouTube's interface isn't that good either. So I will not be using vessel over YouTube despite the free year and early access to videos until 4k is supported.

Does Vessel support 4k video? Just watching my first video on Vessel and it seems to be a pretty big quality drop from your guys' standard. 

WAIT HOLD UP. WE DONT WANT LINUS'S PERSONAL PC. The case has a lot of meaning to him guys. It was a gift from his wife. I believe it was the first gift from her too.
EDIT: Thanks for all the likes guys! Hopefully Linus or someone from LMG will read this and this will make Linus keep his build. Even if the goal of 100k is made we should convince Linus to do another build maybe, with signatures from the whole LMG family and maybe even his wife. This would let Linus keep the build he has with the special case his wife gave him. Besides, his personal PC would be more special to him than us.

Considering how much stuff is now done online, including access to government services here in Australia, it'd be nice to see that here too. Hopefully more countries will follow suit?
