1. Convenient and smooth use
One of the distinguishing features of the service is video quality. It uses the best decoding techniques and has high bitrate videos. This makes the content look richer.
2. Originality and creativity
Service, even with a great desire, can not be called a trash heap. Uploading videos is not an end in itself: the authors strive to show the world original and interesting videos.
It should be borne in mind that content of any type cannot be found in the described service. Since the community is mostly composed of directors of one level or another, a significant part of the catalog is cartoons, music videos and short films. However, instructional videos, for example, are also gaining popularity.
3. Convenient search
Finding interesting new content on YouTube is often not easy. Every minute 300 hours of timekeeping are loaded into the service, and the word “new” loses its meaning. And while the site has a clever recommendation system, the results don't always satisfy the creative hunger.
4. Curated videos
There are two other ways to view content on the site: copyright collections and a section with videos that are gaining popularity.
5. No ads
Nobody likes advertising, because it is a waste of free time. What's more, advertising has a detrimental effect on creativity. When it all comes down to the number of views, the content loses its originality and interest.
6. Unobtrusive monetization
7. Constructive community
Service users are often much more mature. The site has significantly more positive comments than negative ones, there is almost no trolling. Rarely does one feel that the author is elevating himself above the audience. One gets the feeling that all people here have one common goal.
