The title is more interesting than the post. This is just to let everyone know that I am taking advantage of being shut in at home during an ice storm to upload a bunch of my old presentation videos and the like to YouTube. I have been using Vimeo for over a decade, but they were recently purchased by a private equity firm that is laying off most of their staff. This does not inspire confidence for longterm prospects.
Of course Vimeo doesn’t make it easy to move everything to YouTube. So I’m doing my best to get a bulk of the videos transferred, but metadata and descriptions are a bit spotty. I’m really banking on auto-captions to do some of the heavy lifting.
Right now I’m not planning on redirecting the embedded videos in my blog nor take anything down from Vimeo. We’ll see what the future holds.
If you care (or want to see just how horrible my fashion and facial hair choices were in the past) keep an eye on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@rdlankes
