OopsTube: Looks Like Google Bought the Wrong Online VideoTube
 
Let's crunch some numbers and do some very basic math.
  • Google last week agreed to pay $1.65 Billion for YouTube, an on-demand video file-sharing service.
  • How will they monetize it? No one is quite sure.
  • Meanwhile, here are a couple of interesting, though seemingly unrelated, business factoids from CNN's (weirdly similar to Anderson Cooper) Glenn Beck, who is currently hosting a 589-part, four-year investigative reporting series called Porn: America's Addiction!:
    - Pornography makes more money than professional football, baseball and basketball combined.
    -     Overall, the porn industry in the U.S. is a $12 billion dollar sport business.
    - There are 4.2 million porn sites in the U.S. that have been visited by Beck (assuming CNN takes fact-checking seriously).
    - Those porn sites generate $2.5 billion annually in revenue.
  • Now, how is this related to Google's purchase of YouTube? By simple math.
  • Minyanville has learned from CNN Special Porn Correspondent Glenn Beck that there is apparently a porn-themed web site called PornoTube that does the same thing YouTube does, except with porn.
  • Calm down and dismount from your high horse for a minute to just look at the numbers.
  • Online porn generated $2.5 billion in revenue last year.
  • YouTube generated approximatelty $50 million in revenue last year.
  • Therefore, by my calculations, if YouTube is worth $1.65 billion then PornoTube is worth approximately $8.73 to $11.46 trillion.

Is this a new section of Oprano, called "retarded value calculations 101"?

I'm an active member of Youtube for mainstream promotional stuff, and honestly allthough the price WAS indeed high as hell, others were looking at buying Youtube as well.

Also the actual 'deal' between Google & YouTube involved 1.65 billion worth of Google stock, so if google tanks out Youtube's creators really don't make out well, (Unless they pull a Martha)

In regards to the Glen Beck stuff, I caught the tail end of tonite's "report" what a laugh, now you are to believe that Verizion is to blame for childporn

what a fucking joke.

oh and 20% of the what was it 20 billion a year from porn comes from child porn, who the hell is doing their math and or where the hell are they getting their numbers from?

Hey Yo....

You owe me money. Cough it up so I can go pay my bar tab.
I had to find another bar that will let me run a tab.

I think BOTH companies are going to do well. Especially in 8-10 months when their technology ten-folds. Not to mention what the ad space alone would be worth.
