“Filmmakers claim that Vimeo demands them to pay thousands of dollars or their videos will be deleted.”
One artist already paid $200 a year and averaged about 150 views per video. Vimeo said she was in the top 1 percent for bandwidth and quoted her $3,500 a year to stay. Vimeo built its name as the home for indie filmmakers. Now that it sells to enterprises, those same filmmakers are the cost to cut.
