5-Year-Old Hosting Service AllMyVideos, No Longer Profitable, To Shut Down (torrentfreak.com)

Posted by msmash on from the all-good-things-come-to-an-end dept.

Founder five years ago, AllMyVideos.net is one of the most popular video hosting services out there, but it will be shutting store this month. Though millions of users visit the website every month, the company said it operated on "minus 20 percent" profit margin. "We are sorry to inform everyone that effective October 23, 2016 Allmyvideos.net will stop accepting new uploads and the site will close fully at the end of the month," the site announced.

    Quick google and just looks like one of the many youtube wannabies out there that started to spring up when hosting video (at least on a small to mid scale) started to become more feasible.

    One of the biggest reasons for AllMyVideos (and a number of other similar sites) to exist is for hosting all the copyright-violating stuff that the big boys like YouTube and DailyMotion detect and block.
