Lots of high profile internet websites don't make money and are either held up by investors, or companies that also have profitable products, in hopes that they will become profitable. This shouldn't be a shock to anyone. Digg itself isn't profitable yet.

It shocks me to read how much money YouTube is predicted to lose this year. With 375 million unique visitors watching videos on YouTube this year, there must be a way to advertise on the site, which will keep it free to the public.

In future cost of Bandwidth will be cheaper, and so does the cost of hardwares, terabytes of hardisk are getting more affordable by each day.The only thing which gona increase in future is Online advertizments,slowly but surely TV audions will get hooked to youtube.com and then
I think google has invested in future , also if an website can influence goverment of a country then its worth a running.

YouTube video quality should of stayed stranded instead of going hi-def and wide screen.

Additionally, it should still be free to upload videos, but they should have a premium subscription services available(for $15 a month), where if you pay $15 a month, you can upload videos in hi-def, wide screen, and longer than 10 minutes.

But with a free account, you can only upload videos that are no longer than 10 minutes with regular quality.

How about that for an idea?

Well if that was to happen, it would make the big head lines.

I agree,

A small subscription service of $10 a month, as well as a cap on how many views a video can get before becoming charged for.

But put it in decent proportions, such as a cap of 1 million views, then the person will have to start paying a small amount like maybe $1 per video per year for every million views,
