Hasn’t this always been the case? As I recall, Vimeo was a tool that CollegeHumor built for themselves back before YouTube was YouTube, and it survived (thrived?) almost accidentally on the backs of its “professional” users.
- belval 5y agoI didn't know that! Crazy to think that a business with $200M in revenue came from a side-project from CollegeHumor.
- slig 5y agoTIL. Also, collegehumor.com redirects to their youtube channel.
- bdougherty 5y agoNot always, but for a long time, yes. Back in the very early days (2007-2009 or so), it was a much more personal thing and not professional. It was actually a really awesome community of people. After that, we sort of shifted towards "semi-professional" and eventually more professional after that.
