They aren't gonna sell.
Paris Hilton etc will make them profitable.
I personally think diluting user videos with branded commercial content is a big mistake and will make the fickle users drop them for another "user submitted only" site once the viewing experience is degraded enough. The commercial media Advertisers who own the content will also drop them once they find out how to cut out the middle man.
They should start embedding ads or sharing surrounding ad revenue with the bigger Director accounts at least as these have a large base of loyal fans.
