Vid.me has announced that they are shutting down on December 15th 2017, saying that they could not find a path to sustainability.

This news should be of concern as content creators have been getting increasingly frustrated with Youtube's algorithms that demonetize their videos and this means they have one less alternative to turn towards.

    The FCC-imposed 33.6 kbps uplink limit on v.90 dial-up explains ratios of downstream rate to upstream rate on the order of 2:1. But what explains acceptance of ADSL ratios greater than 2:1?
