Hey Andrew - Great post. In terms of where to post your content, I think it depends on a few things.
If you're looking for pure exposure, then definitely try to be anywhere and everywhere. But if you want to really invest in your community, I'd suggest only making your show available in a few places where you can really invest some time.
Also, money's an issue. Mr. Deity and The Guild are getting (presumably) good deals from being exclusive to those sites (or at least an exclusive window).
It's important for content producers to maintain control of their brand and get the show out to as many potential viewers as possible, but it's also good when they get paid. :)

Absolutely Josh. I agree. I think if I had to break down this wordy post to just a sentence it would be:
Don't cut yourself off from the community that made you popular, just because another community offers you money.
YouTube is a huge community but there are plenty of other smaller niche video platforms also supporting great shows.
