Figures. Thanks! Upon checking, it looks like they've been down several hours.

Vimeo have problems with simple content blockers like Privacy Badger too. They can no longer scrape data at will: they must ask, or adapt to display with modern systems.

Yes. Perhaps Laracasts should review that. Vimeo is damaging their brand.

Laracasts have so many video productions (thanks!) it shouldn't be too difficult to consider an alternative that has high up time and works with modern browser technology.

Digging deeper, it seems Google Cloud has a problem that has daisychained to Vimeo and Laracasts.
