Vimeo?


An example of Vimeo terminating an account of a guy reviewing rat traps after he paid Vimeo's $240 fee:

Big fan of his channel. It's so fucking stupid how a simple educational channel on mouse traps (and other types of pest traps) can run into a wall of censorship and demonetization.


Most played youtube video: despacito (6.6 B)

Most played vimeo video: the mountain (77 M)

Most played pornhub video: kim kardashian's sex tape (195 M)

There is quite a headstart for YouTube here when it comes to number of viewers.


Vimeo banned video game content for not being arty enough. It was a shame too since they were poised to succeed since stage6 had just shut down and youtube wasn't doing HD video.
