Feels like Vimeo missed an opportunity to be the home of creatives.
They had the right brand perception for it, and were there early.
A video producer friend persevered hard to continue using it from 2012 to 2019, but out of chronic frustration with its product design, sadly moved to youtube.
I got the sense of a general stubborn "we know what's right for you, you don't" attitude in their product design. And it seemed to satisfy no significant public well.
Great to see them be more clear, wish them the best.
- tinus_hn 4y agoSounds like they tried and found it wasn’t sustainable.
- omnimus 4y agoIt was surely sustainable their revenue is plus 200mil year and the product haven't changed much over the years. It's not growing enough for shareholders though. But sustainable is not the right word.
