The reason I posted this thread is because I recall threads months or years back where ppl were saying these sites were losing money and were propped up by venture capitalists.

I think youtube has increased advertising on it than before, but I don't know as I never frequented the site until a few months ago.

Sites like rapidshare.de seem to have small advertisements now whereas before I don't think they did.

The other thing is that click ads seems to be fine on text based sites, but I'm wondering how well they do on sites based around lots of videos. But then again, I've never done the adbrite type of advertising so I don't know if it's a huge money maker than I'm missing out on. Some videos for example on youtube are long. But then again, they use flash, which I'm told conserves bandwidth as well as loads faster than other video formats (?)
