She was incredibly talented and spent weeks working directly with our entire team.
Eve Fairbanks / @evefairbanks: One way to address the erasure of local journalists @bcsolomon documents here is to abolish the word “fixer.” It's a horrible word.

Eve Fairbanks / @evefairbanks: —before the “real” journalism begins. It's also not just a word. Like so many strange new labels ("contractor," “adjunct"), it's an excuse—for low pay, for no support.

@linkara19: ...videos intended to be seen by a hundred people once and then never again. It's for corporate boardrooms where they want something fancier than a powerpoint presentation, or a sample video for clients and then delete the video once it's done.
@linkara19: ...that will be too much hosting for them. For those wondering why they would pivot away from creators, remember that Vimeo IS NOT YOUTUBE. Their business model has never been about trying to compete with Youtube - corporations will pay a piddly few hundred bucks to host...
Andy Baio / @waxpancake: Vimeo is screwing over long-time indie creators, ordering them to pay thousands of dollars yearly or they'll delete their accounts with a week's notice. This is particularly awful for Patreon creators, since it's the default video provider. https://www.theverge.com/...
Vincent Laforet / @vincentlaforet: .@anjsud @Vimeo has been a cornerstone of the creative space since the DSLR “revolution” + genesis of influencers. Respect the need to have your co profitable - but not the short notice given to creatives who have relied on Vimeo for a decade+ https://www.theverge.com/...
Sung Drip Woo / @yaboyroshi: For those of yall that ask why we switched from Vimeo, here is your reason. Trash scummy practices came into play. Most of your favorite reactors on Patreon have dealt with or are currently dealing with this. I remember when they panicked after I basically told them to fuck off https://twitter.com/...
Quinn Nelson / @snazzyq: Big yikes. I don't know what it means when the “top 1%” of creators on your platform are only averaging 500-700 views per video, but you probably shouldn't bully them into giving you $250/month. https://twitter.com/...
@beckyandfrank: As a @Vimeo user, this sucks! I already felt they were taking advantage of us with super high monthly fees and now they're shaking down creators. https://twitter.com/...
@miarsato: new from me today on @verge: popular @Patreon creators who host videos on @vimeo are getting notices of vimeo price hikes in the thousands of $ as vimeo pivots biz strategy. thank you @loishh and @hate5six for talking w/ me! https://www.theverge.com/...
