Vimeo Gives Up On The Subscription Video Idea

“The video streamer, which is owned by Barry Diller’s IAC, announced last November that it planned to spend “tens of millions” to build out a competitor of Netflix, Hulu and the newly launched YouTube Red. … The company already has a subscription business in which it sells professional tools to its more than 750,000 creators” – and it will refocus on that business instead, according to the announcement.
