Of course Veoh’s traffic is dropping. That’s what happens when you are forced to build a business model not reliant on copyright infringing on other people’s content.

I agree 100%, we as users need to stop being so greedy sometimes about wanting everything free. If you want it free, put up with the ads, if you don’t want it free PAY FOR IT! With quality-comes a price. I agree we are a community online, but we also have to give back to the community in some sort of payment structure if we want quality. I’d pay for good quality with no ads, just so I can enjoy my shows and movies.

Very interesting to read all these comments, especially those related to the “too many ads” on Veoh or Hulu. Some Web TV users want free content but are not accepting the fact that an advertising model has to work for the free stuff to be available. Would you prefer to subscribe to the service and avoid the ads? That’s probably why cable operators are still making so much money and Web TV shops are hurting…

Who cares? Veoh’s only model is embedding everyone else’s content and wrap ads around em. Don’t think Hulu has enough ads, Veoh’s the site for you. Way to change the game!

All these layoffs, ouch, I liked veoh, and jadsters.com. The sites today are simple, I just wish the economy was big enough to support them. Good luck guys.

@Crash Override: Not sure about other sites, but Veoh seems to have more stuff to watch than anyone. Which is nice, since I’m incredibly lazy and hate to “channel surf.”

how does veoh differentiate themselves?

seems like a site that’s a mashup of about 5 others.

barely any good original or exclusive content.

I’m glad to see that Veoh is making the smart move that some other video sites haven’t made yet. There’s no way other smaller aggregation sites are going to last in this market unless they make some tough decisions (chop chop!).
