Much better quality. Although few, the comments are already far more intelligent than the YouTube version.

Awesome! If they would only tilt the camera down a little bit… would be a better frame.

it’s good to see these vids in high quality, BUT it looks like they are still moderating comments… 11 hours and only 8 comments, all only positive ones? i’m still skeptical.
