Jaffe Says YouTube Is Dumb, I Disagree
Joseph Jaffe on MPDailyFix (where we both blog) says YouTube be dumb. I wrote another post after disagreeing. Who’s right?
Me said this…
YouTube didn’t do this to make money. If you look at the numbers in this, the projected revenue they can earn from this is very, very small compared to their net worth and gross revenue. Nope, this ain’t about the money.
This is about being first. And continuing to be #1.
YouTube/Google holds the world’s largest collection of advertisers in the palm of their carpal-tunneled hand. Were they going to let 100 other competitors eat away at their client list by offering something they didn’t want to offer?
The answer is no.
In a way, I’ve challenged Joseph Jaffe to a fight! :)

For what its worth I’m with you on this one Jim (I’ll hold your coat … I think you can take ‘im)
fight, fight, fight. lol
I do not know the cost of running Youtube but just think of how many blogs and websites have Youtube videos on them. I am sure they need a little extra advertising revenue to run that warehouse of servers they need.
