Sometimes Vimeo will also delete your channel. Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20347254
Doubtless the film got far fewer views, as YouTube is not only a video-delivery engine but also a video-discovery engine.
(Shouldn't need to be said, but this is not an endorsement of Moore's film. Also I can't comment on the legitimacy of the copyright complaint, it's quite possible it's legitimate in that instance.)
