As soon as something got<br>popular enough on Revver -- like Ask A Ninja or Lonelygirl15 -- they<br>went off and got their own deals.mathewiWed, 06 Feb 2008 21:16:02 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/02/06/want-to-buy-a-video-sharing-site/#comment-130258Revver has benefited from picking up shows from YouTube, but it seems like they'd eventually lose those same shows once they got large enough to do their own ad deals.Ed KohlerWed, 06 Feb 2008 21:11:06 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/02/06/want-to-buy-a-video-sharing-site/#comment-129868You are quite right, Ann -- thanks for pointing that out. And you're<br>right that free hosting and distribution is definitely worth<br>something.mathewiWed, 06 Feb 2008 19:23:03 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/02/06/want-to-buy-a-video-sharing-site/#comment-129808I'm always glad to see money go to content creators who deserve it but I don't think you can say that Youtube video creators used to get nothing -- they did and still do get free distribution and that's worth something.AnnBWed, 06 Feb 2008 19:03:34 -0000
