Can you name 1 banner ad youve seen in the past 24 hours in any mainstream sites you visit?
Youtube is worth what Google paid for it. With their video ID technology kicking in (i.e. giving security to content owners) and the competition from hulu and the acceptance of more traditional advertising and content I think youtube will finally start to make some decent money as they introduce more professional content. Hell the ancient MacGyver videos added by CBS with full advertising are getting 3k+ views a day. Wait until the site is full of quality content.
