Several weeks ago I decided to stop using VideoPress (an Automattic video service) for video uploads and switched to YouTube. Here’s a quick list of reasons why:

• Larger uploads.
• Fewer upload failures (none yet).
• Easier sharing.
• Privacy options.
• Better quality.
• Descriptions with links and comments.
• The channel and playlists.

The only thing I can think of that I’m losing is direct access to the original file. I couldn’t think of a single instance where I needed to go back and get my original video file though. I haven’t actually checked on YouTube, so it might be there.
