Hey Linus an the Crew,
I can really just stick to what others already said, Vessel just isn't that good yet. There is no option to watch video on lover than HD, only an option to let the site auto select or have HD always on. What if I'm on mobile and it selects HD because I have LTE? My Data Cap is going to kick in in no time. Also about the mobile experience: There's no Android app, what? Am I going to have to watch your videos in a browser?
Sorry, but no. I also think the Vessel really follows form over function, the site is not exactly feature rich at this point. And the design is subjectively too dark.
Plus: Did you ever think about that it's not really that great watching videos on two platforms rather than on one? That hassle itself is probably going to upset a lot of people, me included. I have created a Vessel Account, but dont think I'm going to use it if the site doesnt' get a lot better. And there has to be an app. A good one.
Until that happens I'm going to stick to Youtube and watch video's of product lauches on other channels, sorry. The problem is just that other big channels are doing the same thing as you...
With videos like Build logs, I don't think one week later is that hard, but still I'm a little upset right now.
So, I understand your move, It's good for you because of the money, but maybe not so much for the viewers.
