Starting in September 2011, CAT+FD hosted videos on a platform known as Vimeo. We even sometimes recommended faculty use Vimeo as an alternative to YouTube. However, in 2025, Vimeo was acquired by Bending Spoons, a conglomerate based in Milan; sweeping layoffs were announced in 2026, followed by new and highly controversial pricing plans. As a result, a number of our videos were rendered unplayable. Essentially they were held hostage unless we ponied up. We had to download and delete videos in order to recover copies of the full set. We've since uploaded these to YouTube and are indexing them here for historical purposes.
