I think its clear that alot of these content holders want to go and create their own portals for their content, with their own ad revenue. Not realizing that no one wants to have 4 different accounts to view shit from 4 different providers with ads.

Sure. But if there is revenue at all to be had from these clips - it's natural that the copyright holders would want to reap it.

The question they have to ask - is if (in the case of TV clips) they are better off having them on YouTube for the promotional value they provide for the shows.

To be honest though - the more the online video market fragments - the more a site like VideoSift shines! So - bring it on, I say.

They'll come back grovelling when they realise the mainstream audience for video only uses YouTube.

^ I don't know - Hulu's making a pretty good go of it. In another 2 years every cable network will have its own YouTube clone. ...

Consequently you will have what you had with satellite and cable, 500 channels and nothing to watch.

^but if only there was a way to put a "filter" if you will, on those 500 channels, and "sift" out only the good content ...

Shameless plug while preaching to the choir?
