VidMe: Hi & Bye

[Trollchen]

VidMe auf Wikipedia:

Vidme was a video hosting service that was launched to the public in 2014
...
On December 1st, 2017, Vidme announced it would shut down on December 15th.
This was due, apparently, to not finding a sustainable model.
Vidme ceased to take new uploads at Noon on 1 December, or new members, and announced the Videos on the site
will remain accessible until the 15th when they are deleted as the site shuts down.

Es galt ja jetzt als Alternative, weshalb ich mich da auch mal versucht habe,
aber zum einen waren die Bedingungen suboptimal, zum anderen die Verifizierung leider nötig,
wenn man denn längere Videos als 30 Minuten oder größere Datenmengen hoch laden wollte.
Ob es dann noch Vorteile in Sachen Qualität gegeben hätte, hab ich nimmer erfahren.

Wobei mich die liebenswürdige und höchst persönliche Ansprache als deutscher Nutzer ja ohnehin nur mäßig begeistert hat

Hello human,

We’re writing to let you know that we’ve reviewed your application for verification, but unfortunately we won’t be able to verify you at this time.

We’re still a small team, so we can’t give you detailed feedback on why your application wasn’t approved, but here are some common reasons:

1. Haven’t met the minimum follower threshold of 50
   
   
2. No cover photo, profile avatar, or videos uploaded
   
3. Limited interaction with the Vidme community
   
4. Not adhering to the Vidme rules
   

Also, sometimes we make mistakes. We’re imperfect carbon-based lifeforms.

To increase your chances of becoming verified at a later date, continue to share videos, follow other creators you love, and contribute to the Vidme community.

We really hope that you’ll continue to be a part of the Vidme community, and that we can verify you in the future. Please reapply once you have met the requirements.

Thank you,
The Vidme Team

Und heute via Mail (brav in den Spam Ordner sortiert):

Dear Trollchen,
We’re writing to let you know that after careful consideration, we’ve arrived at the difficult decision to suspend the Vidme site and apps effective December 15th.

You can read more about our rationale for this decision here: https://medium.com/vidme/goodbye-for-now-120b40becafa

What this means for you:

• New sign-ups and uploads will be disabled effective today.
• Existing videos will be playable and exportable from your video manager until December 14th, at which point they will be permanently deleted from the Vidme servers. If you want to backup any of your videos, be sure to sign in and visit your video manager and click the export button (displayed below). After a few minutes, you’ll receive an email with a link to download your exported video.
  
• All paid channel subscripitions will be suspended immediately, and subscriber-only videos will be exclusively accessible to their video owners.
• Any outstanding earnings will be paid out upon verification within 60 days.
• All Vidme paid subscriptions will cease as of today, and subscribers will no longer be billed.

Please see our full FAQ for more details, and email us at hello@vid.me with any questions.

Thank you for giving Vidme a chance, and we’re very sorry that we won’t be able to continue to support you on the next stage of your creative journey. It has truly been a joy to watch people from all over the world connect, collaborate, and make new friends in this community, and we’re happy to know that many of those relationships will long outlast Vidme itself.

Wishing you the best of luck.

♥ Team Vidme

Für mich persönlich jetzt wegen der suboptimalen Präsentation mangels Verifizierung kein allzu großer Verlust,
ich hatte ohnehin nicht vor, meine Videos in 30 Minuten Häppchen zu stückeln, aber halt wieder mal eine Option weniger.
