In the past 18 months, Veoh has (these are all findable in the Y! group archives): * harvested email addresses from this group and spammed them all. Then apologized and purged their (email) database. * posted videos from people in this group who didn't sign up for their service, without link-backs (including copyrighted videos), immediately after which they received a huge round of funding. Then apologized and purged their (feed) database. * been active and useful participants in this group, for which no apology is needed.
They've made mistakes in the past, but they do try to rectify them when the backlash hits this group. Which is better than most Internet companies. Were I in the ratings business (which I'm not), I'd give them a fairly neutral rating, which is higher than I give YouTube (which gets massive negatives for hosting millions of videos with really crappy quality, so that people get the impression that crappy video is what videoblogging is about). I do include them in my list of links on the back of my promotional bookmarks as hosting sites, because they are a viable option for video hosting, and they're approachable and Not Evil.
