Strange thought: up until 2010-11 Vimeo was a vastly superior platform in terms of service quality(then Google stepped up the game of course). But it does make me wonder what would have happened if Google had bought Vimeo instead and where would either be today


I remember Vimeo being the service of choice for film students back around then


Two reasons: vimeo offered better quality and at the time youtube videos were limited to a maximum length of 10 minutes iirc.
