Well they did so without any warnings or explanations. Ofcourse people are still able to view the forums where every thread asking for a reason why they did that gets the same response.

Unfortunately Veoh will be ending service in your country due to a low concentration of users. Veoh is maintaining markets when we have the highest concentration of viewers.

Now yes i am from a banned country and i wouldnt be posting this stuff if they have given an explanation. But after days of waiting from them to give one im kinda fed up and want to badmouth them on as many places as i can ^^

So discuss.

Sounds like an explanation to me.

 

[Spunky]

What the hell is VEOH and why should I care?

 

[elNarr]

Veoh is terribad anyway, you people should use Vimeo instead as it's the 'next' Stage6.

 

[JasonX]

Afghanistan has internet?

surprised that we arent banned, yet.

 

[Mr.Lukyas]

I am surprised they banned Vatican! I am sure pope surfs through VEOH every day.

 

[Spunky]

I'm sure he doesn't.

 

[Grega]

Well i guess the thing im most pissed off about is them not removing the videos submited by people from the banned countrys.

Instead they said the users should mail them the videos they want removed.

 

[Mr.Lukyas]

And why is that pissing you off? Why do you even care about those videos?

 

[Grega]

And why is that pissing you off? Why do you even care about those videos?

Its stealing.

The users who submited those videos contributed something to the comunity by puting those videos up.

Now when they got banned but their videos not removed. The adds are still with those videos and so VEOH allso continues to make profits from them. Its downright stealing.

 

[Spunky]

How is it stealing? Were you profiting from it? No, they were and always were. Nothing has changed. Contact them and ask them to take down your videos. How is that difficult?

 

[vahn9]

i think thats messed up to ban them if its a traffic they want on the website banning someone isn't going to get them popular sorry they did that to you man

 

[-Blaze-]

Meh, they banned my country too -__-

Retards.

i think thats messed up to ban them if its a traffic they want on the website banning someone isn't going to get them popular sorry they did that to you man

They aren't looking for popularity, they're looking to sharpen their focus on the highest concentration of users of their site. -_-

They're making a marketing decision, which is their right to make if they want to.

 

[Tenzo]

I rarely watched videos on Veoh so i don't really care!:S

 

[KelesK]

Feaferish!

 

[Pieter Paul Rubens]

It's not business, because users had to agree with stuff in order to sign-up and/or upload movies. In that stuff, there's something about VEOH having absolute power over the site's content and any user-uploaded content.


Besides, I can't find a single country that people care about in that list (apart from Botswana! People there need teh internet and videos!!). No biggy.

 

[LionHeart]

Meh, they banned my country too -__-

Retards.

Same here.

Retards.

 

[Dokutayuu]

That's just not fair, those countries are likely to have contributed to Veoh and yet... I'm using Veoh right now, sorry guys.

Well, if it makes you guys feel any better I can write summaries for the videos you can't watch ^^.

 

[Mr.Lukyas]

Same here.

Retards.

thirded.
