Depends

Should I use VideoNest?

VideoNest is the video distribution and monetization platform for publishers. Upload once. Distribute to MSN, Fire TV, Spotify, and hundreds of platforms. - videonest.co

· 1 month ago

Buy if you're a publisher or media company pushing one video library to many platforms at once. Skip if you just need to host a handful of videos — Vimeo or YouTube is simpler.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Guess: leaving means rebuilding MRSS feeds and re-uploading archives to each partner platform.
