@niklaskorz Bending spoons acquired a much loved camera app - Filmic Pro - and drove it to the grounds within months by wrecklessly monetising against the app's community.
#BendingSpoons are also buying #vimeo

Okay, I sort of get the idea for mature-content websites, but why on earth does Vimeo now have an age check? What "regional regulations" are they referring to?
So they expect people to upload credit card details or ID-card photos to a third-party agency, like the discord leak never happened.

I hadn't noticed yet, but apparently Italian company Bending Spoons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_Spoons), which among others acquired WeTransfer & laid off 75% of its staff, acquired Vimeo in September:

This does not bode well for the future of #Vimeo. BendingSpoons looks like we've got our own #EU #Bigtech problem.

My current 'Plus' plan on Vimeo is around £110 ($130) for a year with up to 200GB of storage/hosting. For some videos, I designate them as 'private' except for embedding on my site.
Could I achieve something similar with Peertube without having to worry about any of the technical side of things like hosting etc?
I wouldn't mind paying slightly more, but not multiples of what I currently have with Vimeo.
Any suggestions for a Vimeo alternative for uploading screen recordings for sharing (e.g. supports oembed) with some visibility controls e.g. "only people with the link"?
