 I have not used both so I cant really compare them, but I can smell a crappy "comparison" video from a mile away.
video basically boils down to XMPP is the greatest thing every and Matrix sucks....no citations or link to documents covering why

Also if your a "privacy website" and you only link to your own website and not github links for projects... well your a fraud 
 The articles have links. The videos don't .  most of the comments made from the video are subjective experience such as synapse load speed.  If you want to study this academically and get back to us with numbers please do.  The term fraud means we are lying 
 I believe you are lying, or at lease presenting the information and options in bad faith. If your goal is to teach people how to use more private communications, then a 3 minute video full of subjective options on "speed" and "extremely easy to setup" of XMPP vs the "buggy-ness" or "slowness" of matix dose not teach anyone anything.
A video with only positive things about XMPP and only negative things about Matrix isn't a good "comparison" video and smells dishonest or like a scam to me.

also there are links in the article but they only link to more pages on your own website and not to matrix.org or xmpp.org where someone could go to learn more about the programs or how to set them up.
 
 We will be making tutorials on xmpp. We can only move so fast.  First one was on what is xmpp
