This is potentially disastrous to content on the web. Vimeo provides a platform-as-a-service known as OTT, that powers well known branded streaming services, like Criterion Channel, HistoryHit, Dropout, DIRTVision, Speed 51, URLTV, Armflix, MHz Choice, Trinity Broadcasting Network, SommTV, IndieFlix, BroadwayHD, Full Moon Features, etc.

I assume they’re pulling a Broadcom here - the big OTT customers will not be able to easily escape, if at all, without major effort.
Little folks can run, but Bending Spoons won’t care here. They want to milk the enterprise video agreements.
No, not the Criterion Channel, too! Hopefully they can migrate to a different service without too much fuss.
