Email of the day on hosting for the Subscriber's Video

Dec. 22 video/audio was posted on YouTube. Surely this isn't right as anyone can access it without needing a subscription?

Eoin Treacy's view

Thank you for your concern and this question which will be of interest to subscribers. In many respects Vimeo and YouTube are exactly the same. However, they differ in one important aspect; cost. YouTube allows me to post my videos as unlisted and maintaining the archive is free. This means they do not appear in the search engines and are anonymous to anyone who does not have the URL. I only post that URL in Comment of the Day so therefore it is only available to subscribers.

I was forced to explore additional options because Vimeo are insisting that I move to a higher rate plan even though I am nowhere near hitting the limits on my current one.
