The comparison shows Vimeo is tailored more for creativity and actually looks at the content of videos rather than basing it on statistics showing they care more for the users' experience. This means that if an animator wants to make a high quality animated one off masterpiece then it should be uploaded to Vimeo where even though it's less likely to be seen, it will be taken more seriously because of the professional users and could be picked up for an award or even be offered a job.

Whereas if you want to make a series of short animations for fun with the hope of them becoming trending, then YouTube is the best place to upload because there is a larger audience to view your video to become a fanbase.
