Unpopular Opinion: Vimeo is Awesome!
But it is awesome, in My Opinion.
In everyone's dream world, nothing breaks, everything works always. Our furnace, our cars, our computer, our health.
But in the real world -- sh*t happens, ya?
I also have thought about leaving the platform when things have broken, and taken excessive amounts of time to fix. And when there's been really poor communication, and lack of transparency. That Sucks.
But when I consider the full feature-set, and what it offers -- nothing else has it.
- Vimeo-On-Demand --- a critical platform for small creators to publish content, and control distribution privately using VIP and Promo Codes
- Showcases --- with a diverse set of distribution and privacy modes
- Video review and sharing & download features, for both source files and encodes
- Quality encodes we can count on
- Intuitive, and increasingly so -- UI
What I consider a reasonable value proposition. Is it cheap? Nope. Does it provide value that helps me run my business -- ABSOLUTELY. If they doubled my price, would I stay with them? Maybe not. But I'll soon be considering that anyway as my storage limit is getting close to reached. There's a cost for service providers, and cloud providers are no different. And if we want them to be around in the future, we pay them and say Thank You.
So, Vimeo Team -- Thank you.
I do hope that your support continues to improve, and you dwiddle down the long-outstanding annoyances-list that aggravate people.
Cheers*!*
