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.Comment

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..

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.ICQ: 637//961--015Comment

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.Strapon Seduction - femdom blog | TwitterComment

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?
Back in the 1990s companies spent hundreds of millions to get and keep a
peice of the search engine pie. All of the other SEs are pretty much gone.
Now that Google IS search, they are monetizing the hell out of out, but first
they had to firmly establish their ownership of the search game. I'm sure now
that the word "YouTube" is used by news anchors to mean "the internet", the
very bright guys and gals at goog have monetization plans that will kick in real
soon.For historical display only. This information is not current:

Market share and domination yes. Google searches account for 80% of online searches. The figure is 90% in the UK.The idea that they are losing that much money totaling ignores the primary

firrealzYouTube is part of Google's data mining project. While it may seem that YouTube is losing money, it is part of a bigger plan. To create extremely detailed user profiles of our habits and preferences. This data collection is done to serve us very targetted advertisements, whereever we are. To say it in another way; Google wants to know what we are thinking - and make profit from that.Comment
