i found this article at bbc People who upload their own films to video-sharing website YouTube will soon get a share of the ad revenue. that will be cool i think http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6305957.stm but why youtube do this !!!
This news is ANCIENT. Look at the date. The Youtube Publisher program has been out for quite some time. Jeez.
YT must take this approach because they must compete with a lots news rise video website that have more feature than YT.So in order to not lose their market share,they must come out with something that will keep their user to stay
Yeah you share revenue but unless you video is getting 500k views you aren't going to make anything worth your time.
