If you ask your traffic (take a poll) if they like streaming flash videos, they almost all say no. If you change the words to "do you like streaming you tube videos", more say yes. Why, simply because they don't know what it is and the threat of no downloads bothers them.

But if you put an embedded video with a download link and a flash streaming movie up, that are the same and ask them to rate it. The flash stream kills the download, in rating, views, likes, uses, everything. The download... isn't even downloaded.

The real problems is "you assume" you know what the surfer wants.. when you have no idea yourself, just like them..
