“Services are not offered for free at all. There is an exchange of value between users, the creators of the raw material - data, content, and meta-data, and the network where that data is converted into insight. This exchange is still governed by the basic laws of economics but the currency is not dollars, it’s attention.”

“The core audience of Vimeo is taking hold, and the increase in time per visit indicates that viewers appreciate and are engaged with what the channel offers. Vimeo has a very strong focus on community. It has attracted an audience with a well-earned reputation for offering constructive comments relevant to the content, rather than the critical, nonsensical or downright offensive feedback sometimes found on YouTube”
