zett,

good points that you raise.

If G wants to earn anything with youtube they have to play the rules of media. Shaky freakstuff will never attract top advertising dollars and G has to invest into proper content production like everyone else.

Also the design department does not seem to be competitive at all with no real further developments in comparison to other sites.

Media is not that easy to challenge as Yahoo and MS.
