Veoh Blocked Low Quality Countries
Wonder why you get "Veoh is no longer available" ?
Here are few quotes from Veoh Staff:
Veoh is maintaining markets when we have the highest concentration of viewers.
What the hell does that mean? Your grammar is worse than mine and that is sad because you are staff of a big internet corp.
bear with us on this front. It certainly seems like a harsh decision, especially when you're on the wrong end of the rule, however this is something that is neccessary for us to do to keep providing the service that we have. I am sure this, like the 5-minute preview limit, is something that will likely undergo some tuning as we go forward.
Orly? no shit, it is a harsh decision. LoL
Hello Everyone,
Unfortunately Veoh has ended service in your countries due to a low concentration of users. Veoh is maintaining service in countries when we have the highest concentration of viewers.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for using Veoh.
It's ok, you're welcome?? http://www.instantz.net/cutenews/dat...ons/wassat.gif
Let's me rephrase their words and why they block those countries.
"We are sorry but your country traffics suck and don't convert too well or bring in any money for us at all but use a shit load of our bandwidth everyday. So, it's best for us to block you to increase the company overall profit." ~ this is how I intepreted it.
Even though, I don't live in one of the blocked countries but that is just so "internet" discrimination and not right.

So what can you do? Cry and cry some more OR wait until when Veoh feels pity for your country and change the rule. I doubt it but you never know
I was just messing around http://www.instantz.net/cutenews/dat...ons/tongue.gif I am not so sure if this will work but ever heard of IP changer or proxy? I haven't test this but this should work.
Get yourself a Firefox browser (see that cute little fox on top left hand) + Switch Proxy Firefox addon and a list of U.S IPs. Try it and let me know the result and best of luck to everyone who got blocked.
