Turnover's vanity, profit is sanity.

I guess web-based "TV" shows are going down hill just like regular TV shows did. Didn't some of those two million people have the heart to warn the others?

@WagCurious: Revenue isn't the same thing as profit.

If they pay $0.10 per gb and a video is 10mb, that's $1 in bandwidth costs per thousand views.

Keeping 75% of the revenue (and only paying out 25% to the people that actually did the work) isn't evil at all. Nothing evil there.
