    Evergrey may be worth a listen. They’re not annoyingly over-complicated, but offer catchy songs and stellar guitar leads. I like the albums Recreation Day and The Atlantic.

    Yep, my video will exceed the limits they’ve set for a free account, so that’s why I’m asking. Vimeo would be my preference if it wasn’t for the cost.

    Come to think of it … I wonder what happens to the videos you upload after your subscription lapses. If they’re still on there in HD resolution then that definitely could work. This is kind of just a one time thing.

    This looks like it’s the best option. I’d rather not use YouTube because of the ad situation.

    I’m producing the video in 4K (which Vimeo supports), but realize that most folks I send it to will be watching it on their phones and tablets, so anything above 1920x1080 probably won’t matter.

    I’m creating a special video for my parents’ anniversary and want to share it privately. I don’t want anyone to see ads before, during or right after it. I’m not monetizing it and don’t care about viewer metrics.

    Right now I’m trying to decide between subscribing to Vimeo or just placing the file in my Google Drive and sharing out the link.

    The file won’t exceed 5GB.

    Would paying for a service like Vimeo really be worth it when I could just share out the file for free?

    Would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations from content creators.

    It’s intensely personal and I feel weird even talking about it. I don’t believe in any religion, and am very skeptical in these matters … and yet I pray. I’m not really sure what or whom I’m praying to. Maybe it’s to the inner, quiet part of me that’s part of the great “mystery”, or maybe it’s to some “source” I kind of feel is there. Even if it’s a pointless exercise and I’m deluding myself, I feel like it helps … if only to put myself in a certain frame of mind to allow for those possibilities to occur.

    I lost about 45lbs just by walking 6-7 miles outdoors every day, and reducing alcohol intake. It was nothing extraordinary. Just walked a brisk pace while listening to podcasts, and the time went by pretty quickly.

    Nowadays I do 25 min on weights and 25 min of walking every day for maintenance.

    After watching a YouTube video on the evolution of industrial music, I’ve been exploring some of the catalog from those early pioneers (Throbbing Gristle, Coil, etc.)
