I'm not a big fan of Vimeo. But the videos usually look good (if uploaded with H.264 encoding), and I hate Vimeo as a company slightly less than I hate Google as a company.
I also hate ads on my videos, especially when I'm not getting a vig. If YouTube offered an option where creators could pay to not have ads on their videos, I might hold my nose and go for it. But alas, they offer no such option; and having done business with Google Adsense in the past, I have no desire to do so again.
I plan to monetize my boring videos as part of a site about my own journey, as it were, to becoming a drone pilot. Everything I do is practice and I already share most of it with the world, mistakes and all. I plan to embed them into a site with a conversational tone about my own experiences, and monetize it with Amazon or with private ads.
That's all part of the plan; and for that use case, Vimeo is still the best option that I've found.
Another option would be self-hosting. I actually self-host videos for another completely unrelated site, but they're small and the video quality isn't especially important. For something drone-related, I'd need a massive server to store and serve high-res, high-quality files in multiple versions. The server, colo, and bandwidth costs would be astronomical. Even on S3 it would cost a fortune.
So for now, Vimeo it is. But I'm always looking.
