I bet they come up with some policy that keeps the popular stuff and starts dropping the videos that never get watched. They spent too much money purchasing You Tube not to figure out a way to make it profitable.

I have been saying this for a while now but I believe companies like YouTube are the .Com busts of the 21st century. There is limited ways you can monetize the site and arguably no way you can create enough revenue to cover the costs of hosting and streaming the media. Companies like this have been valued in the hundreds of millions and they have NEVER ever generated revenue that has even come close to covering their costs. I don't believe even Google is capable of finding a way of making them profitable without serious changes to the way they do business. Nobody pays attention to those ads at the bottom of a video, eventually advertisers are going to figure this out.

They'll rename it Gov-Tube.

They can just do like other companies and allow you a couple of free video's and then charge you to host anymore. If I was them, I would cancel any videos from users that haven't logged in in a certain amount of time...........
