    The people at youtube are working on adding features that will make the company money, such as being able to buy a video.

    There is already the audio swap feature that youtube uses. If you upload a video, and use the audio swap feature to add music - there is a link on the video to where you can buy the song. I'am pretty sure youtube gets a commission from the sale of that song. Even if it cost $1, and youtube makes 10 cents. With millions of viewers, that can add up.

    Their using embedded ads in the videos.

    The one thing I thing youtube should do, and that is take down all of those silly 5 or 10 second videos that add nothing to the community.

    It will always be around in some shape or form. Remember Napster... it's still around

    It can't just die out.

    I don't think it's that simple, overall acquiring youtube has strengthen their position in the search engine business and that is a hidden earning.

    The 2nd part of this statement is why Youtube will change course. 'they should really start cleaning up'.

    Youtube is already exhausting their resources to manually remove 'illegal' and 'pirated' content. Anybody knows that most people that go to video sites are only there for the freebies. And Rick-rolling is just one funny spin on an annoyance that dilutes Youtube's database with junk.

    So, instead of spending more money to clean all this mess up, for nothing in return, I can see a change of course coming to convert Youtube into something of a paid service with higher quality content. Filtering the garbage user out from the good group of youtube users is impossible.
