Var covered this before, but I’m requoting it here so others can see - basically, yes, the podcast will still be on iTunes, but it will be delayed a week behind Vessel.
Only the podcast will be free to watch on Vessel a week early; everything else will be available on Vessel via the paid subscription.
Every video we make that’s not a Vessel exclusive will be on YouTube a week after it’s uploaded on Vessel. And every video we’ve ever made is available on Vessel as well. Actually, we’d seriously appreciate it if you might link to our Vessel videos instead of our YouTube ones if you want to share them - again, the increase ad revenue is a lot and will help us create more and higher quality shows.
No, we’ve already worked out a distribution deal where we just created double our episode quota for a week. So our channel will still have videos this week, we just have extra videos available on Vessel right now. You can see them by subscribing, or just wait a week to see them for free on Vessel or YouTube.
Not entirely - we’ve used the exclusives forum to pitch several shows (TTV Plays Dragonology was one of them) that we want to do on the channel. If we choose to do it like that, they’ll still be exclusive to forum members. We’re just going out of our way to do more things for Vessel - stuff like the Podcast Aftershow, Behind the Scenes, etc. We did one recently just talking about our old channel and all of the history behind that, and that should be up on Vessel soon. Additionally, the exclusive stuff from Vessel will also be free after a week for everyone to see, it just won’t be on YouTube.
There are 5 separate “channels” on Vessel because they have a feature similar to YouTube’s “Show” pages, which were mysteriously retired a while back. They’re basically a playlist that you can subscribe to. You can also just follow our entire channel, which adds all of our shows to your feed.
YouTube doesn’t work like that, hence why all of our shows are on the same channel. However, we put Product Showcase on a separate one because we felt that more people would be interested in that type of presentation that were not interested in the rest of our content.
