That's really funny!

Thanks for your insight. Here's the deal though -> 1) Agreed! 2) Agreed! 3) Don't Agree. If there's value to the data there's a way to share it. Saying that it's too much data is just an easy way to say no. 4) You're right. Google Ads support YouTube. This won't last forever. Advertising online is falling apart - slowly - but it's getting cheaper and cheaper and less and less effective. So, looking at additional revenue streams seems like a good idea to me.

Oh no. I can fix that. What's the title typo?

I think you're right. It might not bring in 120B, but it's revenue. Recurring revenue, that's more valuable and stable than ad revenue. Thanks.

This is a great way to explain what I've seen happen. You have to set user's expectations that it's free now but not going to be free forever is fine...

Thanks for commenting.

I love this quote! I'm really just trying to make a point. Access to analytic data is valuable.

This is a great point. Let's go backwards. There are somewhere around 50MM businesses in the united states alone...

How about if 1% of those have you tube accounts where they have added content. Does that make more sense?

Good point. How many users have actually uploaded video?
