Vimeo offers one the worst video experience for people in 3rd world countries like me with slow connections. Even if I opt out of HD it's still very slow and I can't skip or come back to a moment in the video so I have to reload the whole thing, horrible. With youtube I can switch to the 240 resolution and skip and bookmark to anywhere. Please use youtube instead, it's just an interview, I don't care about the picture quality.

Thanks for your feedback.

You raise a really good point. We want our content to be accessible to as wide an audience as possible.

We'll look into switching to Youtube as our video player.

Thank you : )

On the other hand, vimeo gives you the ability to download the movie (if you are a registered user) which is great, especially when you have a slow internet connection.
