They sell ads, not a good user experience.

For them to sell user experience they'd need to have competition breathing down their necks first

You can't sell ads to someone who's given up watching because they can't find anything interesting.

Vimeo will never be effective because they've already issued a statement that they neither want to be like YouTube or host the same variety/types of content.

Oh yeah.. i wouldn't even dream of Vimeo being anything like we're talking about in the future lmao.

But there was a time where it seemed like it could be what the people deserved, even if it was just teenage optimism lol
