You can't watch youtube videos on it. I know its asking for too much and it would be a copyright infringement if someone posts youtube videos on their own site, but I dont see youtubers making a living off youtube moving to this new system, and without them moving, no one will move, except for maybe you.

Um, so how’s this different from YouTube and Vimeo?

Optional accounts. Vidme lets you experiment, test new ideas, and express yourself freely.
Simplest upload ever. Literally drag-and-drop a video onto this page and it will start uploading. Go on, try it!
Networks. Everyone can post videos to networks, but the community decides how they rank and what hits the frontpage. Have a network idea in mind and want to run it? Let us know.
Anti-censorship. We believe that free expression is a fundamental right, but being a jerk is not. Don’t be a jerk on our site.
Tons of annoying ads! Just kidding, we think traditional advertising is often invasive and lazy, and our goal is to come up with better ways of keeping on the lights.
Open API. Developers can add video uploading to their own apps using our RESTful API, without requiring users to login. See docs here.
Creators first. We do everything we can to promote creative content and the people that work hard to make it.
