If you have a huge traffic with high bandwith, maybe consider using CDN or some S3 service like B2 instead of hosting over video platform.

  But then you have to code up a video platform. Which isn't too bad given the <video> tag, but that becomes yet another thing to manage. Vimeo (and YouTube, if it were amenable to this use case) is a finished product for end users to interact with.

- Custom js player ("soft" hls with videos split as chunks which enables dynamic bandwidth/resolution change) - videos encoded as these chunks in any cdn you find a good deal. I am using Bunny CDN and it's working quite well (but don't use their ftp 'home' storage, host on S3 and serve it from there since their ftp has abysmal upload speeds -- but if it serves you try it tho, their local storage for content is as cheap as 0,01USD/gb in the Falkestein zone)

  We also had some issues with Bunny's FTP origin, but that was around availability for serving to the CDN tier. We didn't want to split the origin and CDN, so we switched to Google storage. Vastly more expensive though.

Cloudflare Stream could be a good solution for some.

We have actually been seeing this happen to a lot of people who are now moving over to us. https://swarmify.com https://swarmify.com We provide automatic import from Vimeo and conversion of the embeds as well with just a javascript snippet. And our pricing ends up being about 10-50% of the cost of what Vimeo is trying to push. One of those time where having the right features at the right time has made it easy for people to get out of this Vimeo battle against their top customers.
