So, the less than two years old site dishes up 100 million daily videos, and everyone and his uncle is trying to get into the video-sharing market. Right now it’s Microsoft developing its own service. And by fall, Skype and Kazaa will unleash the Venice Project, a wannabe YouTube killer built on file-sharing technology. Unfortunately no one seems to be paying attention to the fact that the video-sharing pioneer is coughing up a fortune in expenses, with almost no profits. There's no question YouTube took on the job of creating the business model for a new medium long before anyone else, and while it's starting to develop new ad offerings, its popularity is driving up costs that the big guys, like Google and Yahoo! are able to spread out. So, the $64,000 question is… How can you make money off advertising without turning off the people who are attracted to the site in the first place because it isn’t commercial? Which is also one of the things I think will eventually kill the MySpace golden egg!
Yo... We don't want no ads not no how... No... Yo?
