A question, for those who use Vimeo and have some direct publisher channel, do you also have a big traffic coming from Ashburn, Virginia? this month my 458k plays, 444k came from Ashburn, Virginia.

Looks like a bot or VPN use. IIRC, Amazon has a data center in Ashland as well.
Here's a link that will give you a little more info:

Yes. 90% of my views are from Ashburn, but very, very few of those result in actual watch-time per Vimeo's stats. Apparently, Vimeo is counting 100% bandwidth for each of those views, even if there is little or no watch time.
I'm using a third party to create my Direct Publisher RSS feed from my Vimeo account.
I've scaled back my file size hoping that'll reduce bandwidth usage. Apparently, I'm in the top 1% bandwidth usage at 2.5-2.9TB/month, and they're forcing me to cut back or upgrade to a higher bandwidth plan ($4K/month for 35TB/year)
