Vimeo are trying to squeez us for money....

Hi guys Vimeo wants us to pay like 10 times plus in order to use them with potential more increase....

So we ask you:

Are you guys fine with our follow a long videos from Youtube since this is our best option so far?

Comments

Can you post a WeTransfer download link?

Nicole London

Same as many others, I don't like follow along so would have to unsub and I'd rather not unsub :/

Silver of House Stormm

yeah not a fan of follow along at all.

I am subscriber to The Homies and Magic Magy for 5 or 6 months and they are the best <3 My suggestion is the same as lots of people above in comments: Please try to find a way/New Hosting for watch-along. I Do not mind to pay more money every month for the best movie reaction channel. Maybe make a New Tier with a higher price. I have other movie reactors and as many people know, it is absolutely painful to sync with their Videos because of the different frame rates, which occurs very often

There's some other websites for Video hosting (dailymotion) not sure how good they are though, and if you need to pay for it. Could check this website - https://bloggingwizard.com/video-hosting-sites/

Thomas O'Rourke

They blocked the account

The Homies

Could you just rotate newer video onto Vimeo and older ones off?

Reed Elam

Can you message me with an example?

The Homies

I wish we were making 50k :D

The Homies

BLURRED long video on YouTube is bad and uninteresting. :( So, what should be my choice in vote?

SYRiO

Patreon doesn’t allow increase in prices. I have to make a new tier and people need to change tiers by their own which they rarely do.

The Homies

If you guys do "follow along" you need more effort into adding a counter, don't make little cuts that throw off the synchronization, and add in enough clips to still make it easy to sync back up if we lose track. It really is a pain in the ass if it's not done right.

Josh PaperDragon

Tried doing watch/follow alongs with other Patreon creators/Youtubers, was never much of a fan of it though. Would be good to look for an alternative i think.

Thomas O'Rourke

You guys are my fourth and newest subs here on Patreon and so far I’ve enjoyed being able to watch the movies with you without having to play my own copy BUT if this thing with Vimeo is going to cause trouble for everyone involved I’d be fine with the synced up watch alongs.

Dear Homies, The YouTube follow along videos are probably the best option. As for what subscribers can do w/ this approach, here’s what I’ve done in the past: For reaction links to unlisted/private YouTube videos in a follow along style format: There are 3rd party apps/software you can get for your computer, (via web browser on your phone/tablet, Linux, macOS, or the dreaded Windows), that allows you to download YT videos with impressive speed & compression rates. The website “y2mate [dot] is” is just *one* of MANY free YT video DL sites you can use in almost any browser on any device. For my fellow Linux and/or macOS users, there is the INCREDIBLE command line interface of “youtube-dl” you can find on GitHub. For more information regarding any of this, feel free to reply w/ questions or additional comments. Cheers.

Too slow. Google Drive handles such content considerably better.

Google Drive is the way to go

What about using MEGA?

I don't mind if yo have to put prices up a little for the tiers the way i see it there are some reactors out thr charging double and only putting one video out every few days and with this channel thr is multiple people and multiple videos so most of the prices right now are a steal if im honest.

Dr Acula

I don't get why you don't just pony up, though. As if we don't know you're absolutely RAKING IT IN from this channel. That's why you hide the numbers. So we don't see you're making like 50k per month.

Koala Banana

Sync'ing is not that difficult, and we can pirate a copy. No problem!

Koala Banana

If it's follow along, I won't stay subscribed to Patreon. Just divide the price increase by the number of Patreon subscribers and increase each membership by that amount. Say 675 subscribers and 675 more dollars for vimeo, increase everyone $1 each. 388 subscribers and 675 would be $2 each.

Edward Olson

Hope it doesn't delay any new vids either way. Waiting for Deadpool 2 with moonsugar :)

Simon

Yandex disk?

Dr Acula

No Magy Vimeo same deal just she has a week or so more.

The Homies

Don’t know how it all works so it could be silly but could you not just get two Vimeo things and divide content between them

Dr Acula

Not anymore :(

The Homies

Shouldn't the Vimeo Pro plan at $75/month give you all the traffic you need?

Alex

Couldn't you just post Google Drive links?

Justin Credible

Yall are your own bosses and all, but if it doesn't make financial sense to do it don't do it. To me it's a luxury to not have to follow along, not a standard. I'd hate to have yall make less money each month when we can more than likely find a free copy. As long as you have the movie blurred/obscured in the video so we know where you're at (some versions have different runtimes due to production credits), it should be okay.

Shawn Mayberry

I wonder what the channel "yaboyroshi" uses

William Abbott

Yea this seems like a good option

Jala

I was Ultimate for nearly 4 months before it was suspended. First Man, Miracle and We Were Soldiers were my requests. I've always used Patreon itself to watch.

Andrew Morgan

the youtube link under the video takes you to the full youtube reaction.

Simon

Looks like there isn’t much of a choice. You could still have the Vimeo option available I suppose as another tier. If people want to pay 30-40 bucks a month to watch the movie.

Andrew Hogan

This will be an issue with movies if you react to ones that aren't on Netflix, Disney or HBO plus.

Andrew Clifton

I just watch through the Patreon website.

Andrew Morgan

I don't mind watch a long, have seen others do watch along at the same price point as you guys. You offer more uploads in a week than the others in my opinion so it works out for me.

Simon

movie is blurred and you have to sync your own copy

Simon

What does that actually mean? I've never watched a full YouTube reaction.

Andrew Morgan

I subscribe to several reactors where you have to follow along, which isn't a really big deal unless the videos are from services I don't have, in which case I can always..find them on the internet, but not everyone is willing or able to do that. I will say that you may have to reduce the watch along price to keep people. $10 was fine with the video included, but many may think that it's too high if they have to also supply the movie.

PapaXan

doesnt matter to me, aslong as I can watch your guys full reactions one way or another. Your guys videos have been the only thing getting me through this rough break up the past few months! So do what yall need to do:)

Doesnt work the traffic is too big and got blocked this is why we went to Vimeo.

The Homies

Just use Onedrive, Google Drive, or Streamable
