Hi,
Yes, vimeo cannot be used on cytu.be anymore because vimeo blocked it due to a single channel being reported. I was unsuccessful in asking them to reconsider the sitewide ban, and another paid user also did not have any luck asking them about it either. I meant to add a more explicit error about it no longer being supported sometime last year or the year before, but I guess I forgot.
I apologize for the inconvenience, I don't have the energy to continue fighting these tech companies who will just arbitrarily ban you with no recourse.
