Once, I hated YouTube. They offered low video quality, a crappy interface, and lots of yahoos making viral videos that were--sometimes--funny.
Most of that has improved. If you want to be elegant and exclusive, you still have to head on over to Vimeo or any of the other more esoteric video-sharing services. But video on YouTube looks much, much better.
I originally had the videos hosted by Revver.com, with the hopes that everyone would watch them, that my viewers would view (and even click on) the ads that Revver presented, and I would make a couple of bucks.
But as proud as I was of the videos, I'm no Ze Frank. I made about $12 in the months after I posted the videos on Revver, and then, in the past couple of years, Revver sort of imploded. After hoping they would pull themselves out of their funk, I've given up. I've given in. And now I'm uploading everything to YouTube.
I've already uploaded Film #1, Leaves. More to come in the next few days.
Enjoy.
