The Rise and Fall Of Vimeo
 

I just watched this 24 minute deep dive and can't recommend it highly enough.

I'd previously become disenchanted with Vimeo, only to return recently for a particular client due to YouTube's over the top verboten-topic censorship blight in recent years. But now, given the likely outcome via the company who purchased Vimeo last September, I'm going to migrate even that away.

I think the most stunning thing in the history of Vimeo was when they had to finally implement a copyright strike policy due to legal developments. And so they scanned through all videos presently sitting on the Vimeo servers for content that copyright matched and therefore generated strikes, including videos now made private or unlisted by content creators who had many years prior already cleaned up their act. Overnight, Vimeo's most ardent and longest supporters woke up to easily more than three strikes and the automatic deletion of their accounts. The people who were beghind Vimeo's success were suddenly gone without warning. What an epic stuff-up.

I highly recommend watching this ... on YouTube.

I've not had any rights issues with them on my media - but the cost of it is getting very expensive. I just renewed £189 a year.
It's better than Youtube I think, for my client previews and works in progress for approvals. It does annoy me that to download what I uploaded at the original resolution is not included in my subscription - only the next one up!
