What you lose is audience. People often aren't willing to replatform for a single creator.

Vimeo is the backend, not the platform.

But they won't be asked to replatform. Dropout have their own website. Them changing service provider should be mostly invisible to consumers.

I'm sure it'll be noticeable, but Dropout could market it as a fancy new update/UI. Users definitely aren't going to have to migrate anywhere.
