i love this post, not so much for what they said- none of it too terribly surprising- but for what commenter #3 (Mike Cane) had to say:

  Really, I feel like banging my head against a wall by leaving this Comment,
  but dammit, Veoh going under makes me mad. You were better than YouTube. 
  I recommended the hell out of you … and then you stabbed us all in the back. 
  You revamped at one point and took away crucial ease of discovery options 
  (like WTF did you take away recently uploaded by length as an option?), you 
  kept changing the damned player software, and your support staff in forums 
  ignored all the complaints about the revamp. You guys shot yourselves in 
  the head and only now do you wind up at the inevitable end. Had you frikkin 
  LISTENED over a year ago, you might have escaped this fate. Using the lawsuit 
  as an excuse is utter BS. This is YOUR failure. This pisses me off to no end 
  because Veoh deserved to thrive. Next time, LISTEN to your fanatical users, 
  goddammit. Learn at least THAT much.
