I hardly believe that they were covering all of their costs from the few advertisements that I was seeing. 2)The searching on YouTube is horrible. I think it would be cool if Google let you cross-search both sites at the same time. Maybe not by default but as an option. 3)Actually, now that you mention the whole legality thing I can't believe there isn't some foreign site that is focused on providing illegal TV shows and movies to users. What a money maker that could be if they force you to watch some sort of commercial before a video would start playing!Yeah, you are talking about how you should have gotten into the stock when it was $85 instead of the $425 that it is at now...but in a few years you will probably be saying that I wish I got into the stock when it was still $425 instead of the $2500 that it is at now. :) @Curtiss

I don't seea reason why Google would keep redundant video services around for too long. Google didn't make Writely "Google Word", or make orkut "Google Connect". I would assume they'll move google content to YouTube and simply edit the usernames to include google accounts like blogger did. Life sucks like that doesn’t it?

So that it stays up and running, Google can make the site profitable and afford the bandwidth, seeing as YouTube still hasn't been profitable because of the huge bandwidth costs.2. Because YouTube search, quite honestly, is the worst search engine I have ever used, and am hoping Google will solve this with their search engine implemented into YouTube (while still including/allowing tags as they are if people like that).3. Also, so that they can avoid lawsuits that would inevitably shut them down, because of the extra cost, making it even more difficult to turn a profit. Because either the big corps who would sue YouTube, wouldn't because they'd be going head to head with Google, and that's never a good idea, and/or Google would sign deals to keep the site running the way it is now, without commercializing it like they did with some of Google Video.Reminds me how pissed I still am that I never bought in at the $85 price when Google released their IPO, but couldn't because I couldn't get a loan from my family for the $10,000 minimum that I wanted to invest in Google (they didn't believe me when I said they'd definitely multiply their initial payment 5 fold...then Google actually ended up peaking at something like over 6 times what their initial IPO cost)....I had the money, but was in one of my CDs (Certificate of Deposite), and wasn't able to remove it prematurely, which I would have given custodianship to my family as my means of repayment for the loan.

There are somethings that people like about Google Video and somethings that people like about YouTube. When you search for videos on either site maybe it will give you the option to search both but they would be crazy to change any more than that. I’m sure they will still keep them separate.
