Vimeo is coming off a big year of changes in 2017. From abandoning SVOD, to launching Vimeo Live, 360-degree video, and its first camera. The company's CEO Anjali Sud explains how these changes are driving growth for the company.
"The biggest driver of our growth has really been a commitment to building the best tools, and technology for creators to tell their stories," says Sud. "It really comes from a commitment to understanding what our creator community is looking for."
Vimeo subscribers are up 14 percent, at 847,000 according to the latest earnings report. The company is the world's largest ad-free video platform, and Sud says its users span from 150 countries.
The CEOs of three popular tech companies have been subpoenaed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which ordered the heads of Discord, Snap and X to testify at a hearing on protecting children online.
Advertisers are fleeing social media platform X over concerns about their ads showing up next to pro-Nazi content, hate speech on the site in general or billionaire owner Elon Musk’s own posts endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
