Bad News From Blip

Yesterday I received this e-mail from Blip, the video sharing site where I've been uploading all of my Rhyming Reviews the last three years:

Dear Blip User,

The following message is regarding the Blip account dakostro.

Over the past year, Blip has been conducting an ongoing review of our content library, removing accounts that don’t meet our Terms of Service. As part of this effort, your account has been flagged for removal on November 7, 2013, and new uploads have been disabled as of today.

We want to give you the opportunity to download your episodes if you don’t have them saved or backed up. We’re giving you a 30-day window to do this using the following page on the producer dashboard.

...

Thank you,

Blip Support

Now, I'm not mad at Blip for doing this. I understand if they want to limit their uploading services to those that meet a certain standard, since they run a business after all. And just because I didn't live up to this standard, doesn't mean I'm giving up videomaking or reviewing entirely. I just have a lot of thinking to do. I'm probably gonna try to find a new home for my old reviews, but the question is if I'll do it the same way from then on. I choose to look at this from the bright side and consider the opportunities that come out of this situation.


See ya later (hopefully soon),
Dan Sjöström aka Dakostro
