There's a simple reason for this: Advertisers don't like paying very much to support homemade photos and videos.

If that is where people are spending most of their time then it would be a good investment.

I wonder how many people have an account on Youtube?

I have a youtube account and I love youtube. Hell I dont even google search for news anymore, I just want to see a youtube video of it.

Do you guys think making money off the internet is really a possibility anymore? A few years ago, I was part of the rush of trying to strike it rich from the internet, but today (except e-commerce stores) it seems like there is so much crap on the web and nobody knows how to profit from it.

Seems like people are still convinced that having advertisements on your page will bring in the money, but do people really click on ads? All those sponsored links you see whenever you google something, I never click on.

when i was new to the net (circa 2000), i sometimes clicked on things... but after a week or so my mental filter started to develop and now i ignore them to the point of simply not recognising which brand is being advertised. i just go for the content, ads be damned.

You need an account. I have one and almost four-hundred videos in my favorites.

I don't care about ads or commercials.

I will look at some of the ads in the Sunday newspaper.
But, when I go to the store I look around.

No one needs to tell me how much I need their products.

This is something companies need to learn.
They are wasting too much money on telling people what to buy.
I'm tired of it and consider too many ads from one company propaganda.

How many people forget about McDonald's if they don't see a commercial for them?
Like David Cross said, "They could pay their employees a dollar more an hour."

I dont think thats the case, I think the question is are people even clicking on ads?

Do YOU click on these?

Nope. Thank the higher power for Firefox and Adblock Plus! :bowdown:

And yet people are so convinced that google ad clicks work. :dunno:

Unfortunately, there's a lot of stupid people out there that don't know any better.

Until we see the day when myspace, facebook, youtube, etc... switch from being free to paying membership, the internet is done!

Some sites do offer more features for paying members. Go look at Livejournal.
It already costs too much for a broadband connection.
