Things change, and full DRM would hasten that change. YT is a platform, they don’t own the content.
Vimeo is a video hosting platform but it isn’t anywhere near YouTube replacement. It would be such a massive shift in their business model that trying to make it one would result a second dead site
There is no algorithm and search function, I don’t even think there’s a notification feature. Vimeo is mostly for artists to upload to and manually send the link

That doesn’t really have any impact on my point. They’re similar in a few ways but it’s like suggesting Wikipedia becomes an IMDB replacement, it would completely change the brand

It is worse in that Vimeo makes money by charging creators to host their content instead of YouTube’s model of it being free or a way to make money.

Didn’t even think of that but yeah true. They aim for quality over quantity and it should stay that way
