            Everyone has so much faith in Google like they are secretly cooking up a master plan with all these ventures that don't make money. Truth is, they don't have a plan. They haven't innovated with ONE SINGLE PRODUCT. If they had a history of innovation, I would believe, but they don't.

            Even with Youtube, they bought it, than sat around while hulu.com became the source for legit premium television and movie content. Now, several years later they just starting to announce (not do, announce) deals with big media company. Yep, Google sure is on the cutting edge...lol.
            Luckily for Google they can afford it, but it is wonderful to watch all the people here who think giving a product away is the right thing to do.

            This says it all.

            Free is a great traffic generator, but its not really free when the traffic can't pay the bills.
            Except it could of said "When the traffic doesn't pay the bills.



            Blowout deal. 880 videos, 2,400 image sets, plus many RAW videos. $500.

More than two years after Google acquired YouTube, income from premium offers and other revenue generators don't offset YouTube's expenses of content acquisition, bandwidth, and storage. YouTube is expected to serve 75 billion video streams to 375 million unique visitors in 2009, costing Google up to $2,064,054 a day, or $753 million annualized. Revenue projections for YouTube fall between $90 million and $240 million."

                    I wonder when we are going to start seeing more and more Tube sites closing simply because they are not profitable. If Google can't make this business model profitable, nobody can.

                    if they updated thier equipment and bandwidth becomes speedier then the numbers whould fall..

                    Meaning thier super duper hard drives could be upgraded and the bandwidth loosened.. makeing the nesisary need of bandwidth and storage way easier and im sure they will do this. or will when they cant function any more.

                            Well that is obviously not true is it since if you had ran tubes you would know how easy it is to turn a profit. Youtube cant because they are the extreme, and they cant plaster ads all over the place. The main adult sites dropping right now are the tgp's which everybody seems to be trying to sell for pennies, the tubes are thriving.

                                some times its not about short term profits! What would be more interesting to know is whether the year-on-year profits(losses) are declining (even percentage wise).

                                I still back google and youtube ... they are at the front by a long way .. and should stay there for a couple of years.
