Is YouTube Doomed?

Money is very tight for a lot of people right now, and takes more than just purchasing the hardware. You have to have some sort of connection to the internet. ISPs have been hit by this economy, too, and even a few have gone out of business. The ones left can charge what they wish for connections, though I have not yet seen prices going up. Nost broadband connections in this part of the US are around 50 bucks a month. That is a luxury right now.

I don't see the tubes going down, but they will fade from popularity as soon as some other fancy flavor pops up. No denial they are making money or they would not have been as tenacious as they have been. I think a lot of the popularity has been the free access. They have advertisers lined up for the dollars and plenty who like free.

I remember when porn was on vhs tape. Hell, I knew guys that would rent a bunch of movies, make copies, pass 'em out, make more copies ,etc. Free porn was everywhere. Then came copy protection, then came ways around copy protection, and so on.

Free porn was a problem then, too...maybe even a bigger problem. But with digital content, it seems it would much easier to prevent unauhorized usage. I hear it's a hell of a lot harder to copy a BluRay than a VHS tape...

. There just has to be an industry wide push to make it happen.
