Vimeo where great videos go to die

Vimeo is a great example of what happens when geeks not creators get their hands on code The site has year on year become clunkyillogicalbadly laid outconfusingchildishfrustratingunusableI could go on YouTube by comparison while by no means perfect is a far better experience for creators and viewers alike It feels like someone at YouTube has taken its UI design seriously At Vimeo it just feels like they ve taken your money I m transitioning to Frame io for my professional use of video streaming mainly for review purposes because it feels more coherent and grown up For my public facing videos YouTube will do it for me

Untrustworthy

Vimeo took down the documentary Anecdotal that interviewed people with vaxx injuries without any explanation right when I went to watch it They also kept the pre-paid yearly advanced the filmmaker paid Very shady So I guess they are either owned by the govt or paid off my big pharma

Do not use Vimeo

Do not use Vimeo - the product and service is a disaster I signed up yesterday to do a very simple promo video After raising five support issues I gave up after one day Worse still if you cancel your subscription annual it only cancels the renewal I am having to request and refund and I haven t been able to actually cancel the current subscription The support service can take a day to respond The video creator is rubbish I ve achieved more with my presentation app Canva where the support is brilliant

Just a fever dream of an app

They make changes to the GUI more often then you want so actually knowing where a functionality is could change next month I have been using and paying for the platform for almost a decade and these recent improvements just make me think there is a very obvious opening for someone to do better in this space

Exploiting and extorting customers

I am giving a one star rating because I finally see Vimeo s true colors The way they are treating me has erased the four other stars I had a business that justified me having a Pro plan This year I no longer have that business and to top it off I am very ill I went to their website to shop lower priced plans What a surprise I cannot access plans lower than the one I have I can only see upgrades They have set the system to hide lower plans from those with higher plans who sign in By going to third party sites I was able to see the other choices I contacted customer support and said I wanted the least expensive plan Guess what Their reply was to take my plan down barely a notch 100 obfuscation I guess they assume customers won t be able to compare prices to realize they are getting cheated What s more support said to downgrade I need to set my account for auto-renewal and provide a credit card What a racket Vimeo provides excellent services if you have need of active video editing sharing and storage BUT it is crafted to make downgrading plans very very difficult I hate to cancel but I may just need toif I want to escape being charged for services I don t need and cannot afford

Don t ever let Vimeo get your credit card information

I ve spent two 15-minute sessions trying to cancel my subscription delete my account or disable auto-renew with no success Vimeo s FAQs claim to lead you to the correct account settings and so on but all you get is an Upgrade screen It s clear that Vimeo has designed the system to keep you locked in forever And so what other slime ball practices does this company use

Vimeo keeping my money illegally

Vimeo billed me twice for my monthly subscription back in August They still 2 months later have not refunded it to me despite 2 months of requests They should have immediately refunded once they realised instead I have had to deal with incompetence on a daily basis What a waste of time
