Content

Hiyooo!You might've noticed the new episodes both launched on YouTube instead of vimeo first, it's because Vimeo have quietly changed their Terms of Service, going after the Top 1% of creators. They came after Maffew a few months ago so it was inevitable they came for us. I've gone back and forth with them and even in our most conservative projections, it's a no-go: Instead of running ads and giving creators money (like YouTube) they ask creators to pay to have their content hosted. At $150 or so per year that's grand. But like, $35K per year, EVERY YEAR, there's a 10% discount if you give us $70K up front ... c'mon 😂Anyway it means we'll release videos here on NU first, because it's a much smaller pool of viewers it's ok, until it's ready to go on youtube! TL/DR So! New videos on NoggerU first! YouTube release as soon as it clearsi'll make a video about it explaining further. if you have any questions please lemme know and I'll answer em. I just wanted to give ye a heads up 💚Love Jay

Jesus, 35k per year?

Marie Strano

Wow - glad you have other options than the insanity they are offering!

Garrett Kenney

I would like to nominate Vimeo for Cunt of the Year!

Ashley Knight

Are they serious? A lot of Americans don't even make that much a year. Cunts.

Tommy Colosi

They offered 10% off. Good sports

Qoey Brown

That's absolutely nuts, and an insanely Hugh Price point

S.K. Goldings

Everyone clear out your Cunt of the Year ballots.

Cunt Vimeo trying to get you on that ECW TV deal!

Andrew Goad

"Oh! So that's your little plan! Get us addicted, then jack up the price!!" Screw 'em... They'll be begging you and Maffew back once it's a dead platform going the way of blip.tv and vessel

It's 35k or notheeeng..ridiculous- they're desperate altogether. We're with you whatever

Mah-Dry-Bread

It's like they're TRYING to kill their own website

Ian McGarr

I don't know, like I see their point of view, but then again the price they want... I think they should get something as without them creators wouldn't really have anywhere else as YouTube seems to block it. It's a weird one. Stupid insane price.

Paying 35k a year for video hosting sounds like it'd be a good way to get Repo Man to swing around. That's straight up highway robbery, good lord.

Vimeo pulling an Ultimate Warrior and hitting us up for more money before the big show? CUNTS!

Vimeo: "'Tis no man, 'tis a remorseless streaming machine!"

Such a bad statement. “Our goal wasn’t to grow big like Youtube. We want to be the garbage tier.”

Tycon

I liked using vimeo cause i could download the episodes

Kyle Williams

So Vimeo doesn't even want to become a rival of YouTube it seems. Create a higher bandwith tier with reasonable rates and you would actually increase business and revenue. This seems designed to drive away users ensuring it will always have "also ran" status.

Shockmaster

I said it when Maffew posted about it but what kind of business model is that. Drive away the people drawing the most traffic to your website. It's absurd.

Samuel A.M.W.

Vimeo has always been a hassle for me from day one. Sorry, it inconvenienced you and Maff as much as it did- Your content was too good for their platform either way.

MoonSpider

Only cow! That’s just insane. At this point will there ever be an alternative to YouTube that won’t be full of weird business models

Oh_hey_its_michelle

That seems a bit excessive. Are they actively trying to alienate their content creators?
