Where did you find the $25k/mo figure? TFA says that her most popular video has less than a thousand views.

  From her patreon. She has 5600 patrons and her only subscription option is $5/mo. Her videos have only 4-digit views, but they are all multiple hours long Vimeo is asking for around $7/hour of video/year.

    You actually can give lower amounts than the minimum on Patreon if you go into the setting iirc.

    "Less than 1000" is 3 digits rather than 4. What does the $7/hour mean? If it's $7/hour of viewing time, that is completely nuts. How many videos are there? If there is 1 video/week at 2 hours each and 1000 views each (this sounds like an overestimate), that's ~ 100k viewing hours, or 30 cents per hour, which seems like a lot, and it is a lower bound. At 1 mbit/second (this will vary but figure lots of mobile device clients) it's 45TB transferred or 7 cents per GB. Less crazy than AWS, but still pretty steep. Maybe this is an opportunity for someone. I'd like to know the actual numbers. Added: is there really even such a thing as B2B video on any scale? I would almost never think of watching video as a good use of company time. Any idea how much of previous Vimeo content could be reasonably described that way? EDIT: fixed math error.
