No - That should be called out as optional.

But the commenters here have added information on creating a better youtube experience.

Where are you seeing it's optional? Do you mean it's just not enforced?

Vimeo Plus is intended for individuals who want more features than a Basic (free) account, however Vimeo Plus users may not upload videos that are commercial in nature, or that are intended to sell or promote a product or service.

Optional for the post content. You can produce the content and have it hosted on Youtube for well under the $200... which was the point of the tip.

Yes, in our case, we also pay Vimeo for video hosting so we can further customize the experience.

Commercial use is ok if you're a pro user or "You are a small-scale independent production company, non-profit, or artist, in which case you may use the Vimeo Service to showcase or promote your own creative works."

I'm not sure, but "independent production company" might refer to stage production.
