4. Vimeo Offers Greater Artistic Freedom

There are two aspects of YouTube that can prove frustrating for those who want to create certain kinds of artistic content. Leading to videos disappearing for no reason. The rules for sexual content are inconsistent on YouTube. You can find explicit videos on YouTube that have been up for many years, yet videos that are merely suggestive can be taken down for being overly sexual. What if you've made a mature music video? YouTube might take it down, but Vimeo welcomes it as long as it has artistic value. Music is another big issue on YouTube. In particular, the content ID system that automatically scans each upload for copyrighted tracks and silences anything it deems as a violation. The system is too aggressive and operates according to a "silence first, fix later" policy. Even if you're authorized to use a certain track, you'll have to jump through hoops to restore audio. Not so with Vimeo.
