If You Love Watching Videos Online, This Is Your Dream Job

Americans watch upwards of 38 billion videos a month, according to comScore data. On many video-hosting sites, a majority of those videos might feature the Harlem Shake or cats, but on one site in particular, video content tends to be a bit more creative and highly produced.

Vimeo is a video-sharing site founded in 2004 by a group of filmmakers who wanted a clean and beautiful platform through which to share their work and preserve personal memories. The site attracted other filmmakers and creative types, and quickly earned a reputation for high-quality content. The site was bought by IAC in 2006, and it became the first video-sharing site to support HD playback, in October 2007. That feature catalyzed growth of the user base, as creative individuals and brands flocked to the site to host their best video content. Vimeo videos aren't preceded by pre-roll or flanked by banner ads; the interface is clean, and the focal point is the video itself.
