    But then again, the people who can't afford to pay $5 per month won't be missed...

        YouTube is an absurdity & its day of reckoning is inevitable.

        you can't run a website that lets all the people in the world upload unlimited video, then hotlink the video to all kinds of media, giving away all this free bandwidth, & somehow money is going to be made on this. everything is free! Free is a great traffic generator, but its not really free when the traffic can't pay the bills.

            They'll make it all back when Coca-Cola and P&G start skinning YouTube for $100mil/month - for them it'll equal the boost in the world wide brand name recognition that is worth billions through other types of media.

                yup that is very true.. look at myspace, they skin that all the time. I'm sure they get a pretty penny to skin myspace or like you said youtube

                    I agree. You'd think these analysts should have some pretty accurate information though. However I did see Mark Cuban basing his calculations off bandwidth at 12 cents a GB :S So who knows. I doubt Google would allow it to loose that much money, but could be wrong.

                            Some youtube content producers are already putting ads in the middle of their content ("indy mogul" for example), and there's already embedded advertising at the bottom of most videos.

                                The idea that they are losing that much money totaling ignores the primary
                                benefit GOOG gets from youtube right now - market share. They could probably
                                sell the youtube.com name alone for 2 billion dollars. Just as "google"
                                has become a verb that people use every day, saying "google it before asking here",
                                they are making youtube THE site for video. Remember the search engine wars?

                                they had to firmly establish their ownership of the search game. I'm sure now

                                        They are about to unveil a deal with some movie studios... I wonder if it will stop the bloodletting...

To say it in another way; Google wants to know what we are thinking - and make profit from that.
