So let's think about it, with some intelligence and informed replies. Rather than the usual trolls coming in with nothing.

How many surfers does it take to get a sale?

How many videos do they watch on average?

What's the cost in hosting, servers, service if needed and BW, of a 5 minute, 10 minute and 20 minute clip?

If Tubes are suffering from the same shrinking market we all are. Then they will reach a point where the conversion on actual freeloaders to ad sales or buyers. Sends them under.

Will sponsors keep providing hosted videos if a sample clip costs $5 to host, $15 to the Tube site and the return is a sign up for a month. (Figures to illustrate the point.)

If the cost is 10 cents to get a sale, no problem.

We all saw RSS feeds for blogs go out of most sponsors window. ROI wasn't worth it.

Give us real figures, not smart ass replies.
