Success on YouTube relies heavily on marketing yourself or being super lucky and getting featured on the front page. In order to be featured, the YouTube editors need to choose your video to be featured (and once they start paying, they are effectively deciding who they will pay, since everyone knows that the chances of you making it on YouTube are slim to none if you're not featured). By contract, Metacafe uses its ranking system to push good videos to the top. We don't decide what videos are released to the Highest Rated pages of the day, etc. Videos are released to the Most Recent page - and to our downloadable application - and if the community likes it - it goes to the Highest Ranked pages, Most Discussed page, etc. Every single video has the same chance of making it. Metacafe pays creators solely on the merits of the video and the views it accumulates - not click-through rates. We've had 3 people earn over $20,000 so far, and countless others in the thousands - and they didn't have to market their videos or beg to be featured to make it. Yes, it's exciting that YouTube is going to (eventually) pay users for their content. Don't forget that it's very hard to make it, though, and YouTube will have to work out several kinks in the system (including the featured videos) before they begin to pay out.

"Knock-out Punch to Competitors" is a little bit of an exaggeration, of course. We are still in the very early days of innovation in what will be the "personalized media experience". Entertainment is becoming more and more about delivering what you want, when you want it, and where you want it. YouTube (and others, including us at Mefeedia) are far from delivering on this.

I look at that site in terms of signal to noise ratio. Lots of noise, little signal. What happens when all of the anime, music videos, and other copyright violations are firmly stamped out on YouTube? What happens when Google shifts all of it's Google Video over to YouTube in an attempt to legitimize the site? Will all the kids on MySpace with their overstuffed profiles still use it? Will they switch to MySpace Video and use that more. When Google takes YouTube and makes the transition into IPTV things will get interesting. That's when the knockout blow comes. Because suddenly it's a heavyweight fight where startups like Revver, Heavy, Metacafe and their clones will have to transition into exclusive content and licensing agreements to the larger players or become niche sites. The battle is still very much kicking up clouds of dust and while you may see YouTube's head above that could, the dust hasn't settled yet.

Add it at the end and then maybe you don't lose my eyeballs. The beauty of the viral video is that people are uploading things just because they want to be seen, not to make money. Start paying them and the viral aspect starts to dwindle. What's next? Product placement? Mentos turning the Coke and Mentos eruption videos into product placement commercials?
