Demos on YouTube--Good or Bad?

I was just curious how everyone felt about posting demo reels on YouTube and MySpace. I've seen a bunch on there--some of them are pretty good. But obviously the quality isn't going to be as good as it would be on your own website. Does that seem unprofessional?

Generally it depends on who you're pitching to but you're not likely to attract a client who's willing to pay you what you're worth if you're not presenting yourself in a way which conveys you're worth the money. The last thing you want to impress upon your audience is that you're willing to embrace shortcuts.

I've had a reel and samples on my site (http://www.upstairsmedia.com) for years and have recently put a few samples (not many) on a You Tube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/upstairsmedia). The You Tube Channel is not a replacement; just another way to expose my work to more people. The You Tube Channel has a link to my "real" site with more and better samples. My work runs from training films to live events to documentaries and even a feature in development so I need exposure. I don't see how it can hurt but we'll see
