Is it even possible to make money uploading?

    I am trying to make a site where I upload adult video game reviews/let's plays. The problem is I did the math and it seems like the more minutes watched, the more money I lose.

    So here goes. For the video hosting I was looking at flowplayer...
    $0.221/GB for streaming
    Since every video will be about half a GB, I need to pay $0.11 per full video view.

    For the ads I was looking at ero-advertising but since I have no idea how much I would make with them I used YouTube as a substitute for the calculation.
    On YouTube from ads I make about $0.01 per full video view.

    So it seems like I would lose $0.10 per view???? Is this right or have I missed something? Is there a cheaper way to host HD videos on a website? Or something else I should be doing differently?
    Thanks in advanced!

    Also for got to mention I will be using in-video ads as well as banner ads.
