So apparently vimeo is now requiring users engage with the creepty third-party "age verification" surveillance-ware, which means I am looking for alternate video hosting possibilities.

Any suggestions round these parts?

Apparently it is free accounts only. I took one I paid for to free and was not warned I would lose access.

But this is much worse! I am so sick of pay for privacy. EU suit when??

It is pretty easy to delete your vimeo accounts once you can find a contact page that lets you email without being logged in. They will send you a CSV of your data, including links to videos for download.

The biggest con is the links live for only 24 hours, so you gotta be on it, but highly recommend getting out.

Now to figure out peertube.

@sarahghp so, just email them to request account deletion? I'm struggling to find a contact page that doesn't redirect me to age verification. maybe I need to log out first...

@sarahghp Thanks. I couldn't find that, and couldn't get past the age verification until I logged out.

@sarahghp Thanks for letting me know. I received the CSV file today and was able to download my videos to my hard drive. Now my nearly 70 videos and my account are disappearing from Vimeo.
