(warning: all phrases with quotes around them are things i dont fully understand.) the last thing is that watchertv is being run through vimeoOTT, the same service dropout uses. interestingly, vimeo was originally started within collegehumor, which means it was later owned by IAC, the "holding company" that sold collegehumour to sam reich and now is a "minority owner" of dropout. Dropout was started before IAC killed collegehumor and sold it to sam, so vimeo and collegehumor and dropout where all closely connected and owned by IAC when dropout began. vimeo was "spun off" of IAC in 2021. i'm very curious if the rates that dropout pays vimeo were effected at all by them both beginning in collegehumor and being owned by the same company, and if those rates changed after 1. collegehumor died and 2. vimeo was spun off.

#gabbering #watcher #dropout #and of course how much does this service cost watcher #bcuz video hosting is extraordinarily expensive #i've seen a lotta ppl say it's a miracle dropout made it and not a replicable thing #i have a lot of questions like #what does being owned by IAC materially mean for a business #dropout has discussed having a horrible boss before and im gonna take a stab in the dark and say it was these guys #how much control does IAC have over what it owns and how does it exercise that control #and what does it being a minority owner of dropout mean for that amount of control. do things still have to be greenlit by them.#also how the fuck is vimeo alive video hosting and streaming is so expensive oh my god howwww are they hosting that shit and making profit?
