The advantage of YT is that *anyone* can watch its content without the signup hassle and they can also be easily embedded in other webpages.

YT also now has a High(er) Definition option which makes much of the newer stuff look very good indeed.
You only need an account to upload, not to view the compressed version.

Here's an example of the difference in quality of the compressed videos between Youtube and Vimeo, using the same source file:

Youtube Video:
Vimeo Video: http://www.vimeo.com/830792

As you can see, Vimeo is significantly clearer with much less artefacts on the video. The biggest advantage, however, is that anyone with a Vimeo account can download the original source file to view it without the compression.
