YouTube is about to go down the gurgler according to Benjamin Wayne the CEO of Fliqz.

Writing in his purple prose stacked blog, Wayne said that YouTube, was an "incandescent tower of video Babel; monument to the sloughed-off detritus of our exponentially-exploding digital culture". Wayne described it as a "Technicolor cataract of skateboarding dogs, lip-synching college students, political punditry, and porn".

What a pseudo-intellectual dick this guy is.

This guy may not realize, but Youtube isn't the only site on the internet that gets lots of traffic.

Perhaps, but if Youtube was able to make profit up to this point, it should have no problem making profit again. Plus it's kind of annoying reading articles about a business doing badly, and someone mentions the recession. Yes, there's a recession. Just about everyone is doing badly.

Argh.

Considering they added 720p support I somehow doubt they're losing that much money. If they were losing money then they're idiots for adding a high def video option.

They do in video advertising now so I'm sure google will continually come up with way to leverage the huge userbase to make some serious cash.
