I could be wealthy beyond my wildest dreams and still be turned off by their obnoxious changes.

This but Jellyfin way before Plex, which is always revenue hungry. You bought a lifetime pass? That's cute, try on some advertising unless you disable it.

They'll continue to make anti-consumer choices in order to attempt to drive growth. Jellyfin has done nothing but improve.

Not going to play semantics here. There is definitely a different level of trauma for a person to experience for something they are physically forced or threatened by force to endure than something they are convinced to do even if they would have otherwise not. It's insulting to victims of the former to pretend otherwise.

I'd have to assume that this could include anything from what they felt was some amount of coercion or pressure to have sex up to rape.

Definitely a part of it for some.

Me, I cancelled due to the low quality of their catalog. A decade or so ago, they had a really strong library of media. Now they don't. What they spend their money on, I find to be severely lacking.

Appreciated when the 3rd party's website throws up a demand to subscribe to their newsletter and no user-friendly options to close said demand.

The amount almost doesn't matter (it's definitely on the high side compared to alternatives). They can definitely afford it if they have a reasonable budget. However, how Vimeo has treated them as a paying customer is terrible.

Bingo!

Right. Vimeo has a pleasant player. I like it.

However, it's essentially the same service otherwise. Point your customers or business partners to a URL and they stream it from there.

$3500 for hosting on top of what they already paid for hosting for the current length of their plan, with 7 days notice to vacate otherwise. And then how much next week? The week after that?

How could anyone trust Vimeo as a provider for their business after this?

> If you're not willing to pay for bandwidth you're not a legit customer.

If they're not willing to pay a hefty premium for it? I don't follow your comment, buddy. They're already a paying customer paying what was asked of them.

Why would you not just use Cloudfare Stream or another option and save roughly 40% of the cost?

You do realize that's ~60% of what they attempted to shake them down for, right?

An existing customer?

With no reasonable notice?

Interesting. There's one Patreon I subscribe to that used Vimeo. I didn't realize it was what Patreon apparently exclusively used? This sounds like a BIG problem for Patreon, then.

This may be a much bigger issue than I thought...

It's not even a sensible or pro-rated increase.

Just a shakedown.

Ah, did not see this one, sorry!
