Is It Logical To Upload All Your Videos To You Tube?

I realize that people follow the "Conventional Wisdom" by uploading videos to YouTube, thinking they are going to get a Motherlode of views. It is understandable, as You Tube is well known in both the New Media & the Traditional Print Media, especially in Tabloids & Television. But, in huge crowds, there is a tendency to not being noticed to getting lost in that crowd.
1 Million Videos are uploaded every day on YouTube. There are millions of eyes looking at videos, but not necessarily at YOUR Video. You make a video to get people to take notice of you, so you head to the largest service in the world & the video is waiting for the 1st view.
Then you decide to put that video on something other than YouTube. It actually starts to accumulate real views & there is a sense of community on that service.
It is WHY if I can avoid You Tube, I will avoid that service. I enjoy using Vimeo & DailyMotion & do attract views for certain projects of mine, often thought of as The Province Of You Tube. If the Long Island Championship Final of the Knights of Columbus Int'l Free Throw can draw views on Vimeo.com & DailyMotion.com, then YouTube isn't needed at all. That final was also carried on YouTube, but barely viewed on YouTube. The Event had a nice audience & really doesn't need YouTube at all to draw a following.
Besides, many people find YouTube to be the Home Of Junk. Who needs it, anyway!
