The article was written by a guy owns a VIDEO ADVERTISEMENT service..
I have also heard more than one price now for the 2009 bw cost. And it "appears" people are taking the financial reports, chopping the bw and adding in the ads, and "thinking" that is how you calculate profit for a company.
Anyway - Google offers 100's of free services it currently does not make money on and they do not plan on dropping. Clearly, they see a bigger picture with the tools, that we don't.
Back to the article... "Unfortunately, far more user-generated content than professional content makes its way onto the site, which means that while costs grow linearly, non-monetizable content is growing geometrically as compared against the monetizable content that YouTube really wants and needs to survive."
How wrong is that? Amateur videos kill it with advertisements on youtube.. hell some are so bad you can't watch the damn video. Seems to me, the more professional they are, the less advertisements I see.
You would think a video traffic ceo dude would know this, by simply looking.
