Meh youtube has gone down in quality imo since it got bought. There's tons of other (and better) video streaming sites.

With that said, I find this article hard to believe.

OK, here's a thought, if they truly have trouble paying for all the videos why do they still let so much shit on the site???

I mean it seems like only 1 in every 1,000 videos seems to appeal to more than one or two people.

How does Youtube make money, anyways? I'd think more traffic and attention would be a good thing..

Wouldn't they rake in huge advertising dollars or something with all that traffic?

Well, if it DOES shut down (really, really slim chance). At least there's plenty of alternatives. Like Metacafe, Livevideo, & Veoh just to name a few.

I LIKE REDMOON ONLINE. IT'S TEH MOST AWESOMEST MMORPG. RUNESCAPE HAS NOTHING ON IT. ;) My full Videogame collection (Well, not really that full): http://www.backloggery.com/marktheshark I'LL COOL YOUR ANGER WITH AN ICE SPIRIT BLAST!!!!111111!!!!!!111!!!!1!!!
