Charging To Upload Videos On Youtube???......Oh Boy

Only a money grubbing idiot who doesn't like how Youtube has helped in the defense of the silent and powerless would say a thing like this

Gene Munster, the analyst with Piper Jaffray, put a report out Thursday looking at the finances of YouTube, and he makes a suggestion that I haven’t seen before: Google should charge a “nominal fee” to people to upload videos to YouTube if the video isn’t appropriate for advertising.

I don’t know that this is a good idea, and I have a lot of doubts that Google would ever do it in any case. But it’s a provocative thought that’s worth a discussion here on Bits.

It's not a "I don't know that this a good idea."

It's a TERRIBLE idea.

It will no question ruin Youtube, and it will make all of those other video sites inspired from Youtubes success both happy and also put on noticed simultaneously. They will get all the people fed up with Google if they make this decision, and they would also maybe tempted themselves to charge for uploading content. Either way, really, no one wins at the end of the day.

No one except those who wished Youtube, and other video sites, never existed at all.
