Build 2013 Registration is now open!
Apr 02, 2013 at 1:59 PMMy personal thoughts are that for indie developers, we provide a totally free way to watch *every* session online in < 24 hours. That's unheard of in our industry. The total cost is $0.
If you are an indie developer, then I totally understand the importance of reducing costs. Traveling and airfare to an event can even cost as much as a pass to a conference like Build ($250/night for hotel, $400-1,200 on airfare depending on domestic vs international, food, etc).
If I was an indie developer, I would:

Nov 29, 2012 at 1:47 AMI held up YouTube as an example of the best possible engagement for video. I just don't think it's a fair comparison to Channel 9. While the stats are slightly out-of-date, YouTube was like 20% of all internet traffic and 60% of video traffic ~2009. Despite how big it is, it still can't get engagement past a fraction of a percent. And I agree, if you compare Channel 9 to YouTube in terms of engagement, we'll always lose.
For a slightly more fair comparison, you can see stats from www.vimeo.com. Now vimeo is again way bigger than us in terms of users, views, etc. Vimeo does allow downloads on most of their content so no need to factor in differences there.
Based on your previous jQuery search, searching on vimeo.com for "jQuery" or jQuery tutorial
Your previous assumption for C9 was
Compared to vimeo's stats, our engagement is inline (at our worst), or several times better.
I'm not saying we can't do better, and YouTube as a goal would be great to achieve, but we should at least compare apples-to-apples.
