Yep - on Vimeo you pay for various feature sets. The Free option is limited. Higher fee - more features.

It does have a lot of things that You Tube doesn't. Password to view, pay to view etc.

I get by on the $100 pa package. But I mainly use it to deploy videos I've been paid to make and don't want the You Tube clutter/intrusions.

Not music based - more for film maker and videographers looking for higher end features.

Vimeo gives better compression algorythms - ergo quality, better players and a better user experience.

You Tube is much easier to make a buck, but it's not a big earner.

I just got YouTube premium a couple of days ago. Prepare yourself though for video creators who embed advertisements right in their videos. Can’t win but the yt premium is definitely worth it for those who have some extra money. I watched a video with my students the other day that said they’re exposed to 4,000-10,000 advertisements a day. Single day. Ouch.

Thanks for the welcome!

If there are too many ads embed ads in their videos I either stop watching or block the creators as I loathe ads with a passion if we are being honest, with the exception of movie or show previews.

Content has to be paid or it won't exist. If you hate commercials that much you just need to buy the content you want straight up.

I mistyped I meant to say I loathe commercials so much when it's during programming, I don't mind it before or after it. Like that I can flick to another channel until the commercial is over.

I am thinking like when Cable first came around it was commercial free TV, you only saw previews for the upcoming shows. If it went back to that I would be extremely happy.
