[tarfeef101]

So saw this on Vessel today: (see image)

 

Vessel will be closing after October. Wondering what, if any, plans LMG has moving forwards?

They already have that for CSF. I'm guessing they may give YouTube Red a go if it has the right features.

Can they set up a Youtube Red thing considering they are in Canada and Youtube Red is STILL not available in Canada?

I'd imagine so, I think the restriction is on Canadian viewers, not creators.

Eh liked the before without delay upload so I ain't complaining but for LTT it really socks, maybe more people will now subscribe to YouTube red ?

If w vessel users have a week gap of no vids that'll suck, otherwise depending on YouTube Red pricing in Canada when it comes out I might get it, but I don't feel like paying a lot for it.

Without delay?

There WAS a delay before, you were just not made aware of it because they didn't publish the "delayed" videos that are supposed to come out a week from now, on another platform.

So, Since Vessel is kinda no longer a thing as of the end of this week, what is going to happen with LTT content?

 

For those that are confused, Vessel was recently bought by Verison and per this blog post the Vessel platform will be sunset at the end of October.

I assume verizon owns the exclusive Vessel content now. Doubt we'll get something like nerd sports on youtube.

Nothing will happen with LTT content - we'll continue posting to YT as usual, and will be exploring other options over the coming weeks/months.
 

Bottom line is that nothing is changing with the LTT content you've grown to expect on YouTube every day.

That's just what you want us to think! /jk

 

So, will there be a delay in Youtube uploading, or?  By delay I mean like one service first then Youtube later.

Really depends on what happens with the "exploring other options over the coming weeks/months."

 

We may utilize another early access platform in the future, but for now it's all YT, and as with Vessel we'll make sure that all standard content goes to YT.
