So Vimeo is also going to close https://mastodon.social/@kottke/115979240241733454 which means that YouTube remains the only general public video platform on the web today among those born in the mid-2000s. I remember Blip.tv https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blip.tv that closed in 2015, which had better features than YouTube and Vimeo at the time
https://cubicgarden.com/2015/01/22/blip-tv-does-good-on-its-promise-to-archive/
It allowed the use of Creative Commons licenses and the automatic cross-posting of videos to the Internet Archive.
