My Thoughts
by Kesar

Youtube is one of the best sites ever launched hands down but it is not putting enough money in Google's pockets. Sure you are seeing ads from publishers and record labels but they are saying that they aren't making enough money for their music videos. I noticed today that I tried to watch a music video but  I was blocked and redirected to VEVO. I did my research online and it's pretty much like Hulu but for premium high quality music videos. I doubt they will charge users so you'll probably be seeing ads running for 15 sec. It's annoying but you have to make money somehow. Check them out Vevo
