With all the freeloading traffic and bandwidth costs...I think the average guy is thinking that he will start some massive site that hemorges money for a few years and then some price charming internet company will come alond and swoop it up for a coupe million.
I say that is the business plan.

I know one of the owners of youporn basically stated that as his aspiration, but I think a lot of people think if they establish themselves now by giving away lengthy videos to attract viewers (even if they only break even with the BW expenses), they can slowly reduce the length of the clips, etc in order to reduce costs and retain the same viewer base. Will be interesting to see where it leads though, it's obvious that the 10-20 second MGP clips are long behind us, and however this pans out at the end of it surfers are going to be used to getting much longer, and many more clips for free in the future.
