Look people, I don't know how much this new video technology is worth, but....

I'm not stupid enough to think it's anything resembling a small amount. Not when you consider how much Google paid for youtube. Look it up or ask your friends if you don't know.

And with that, debate class is in session. 

The Monetization of YouTube, Twitter, or any other social or media site the Internet is not set in stone, but it is evolving. That means how people get paid is evolving too. Or at least in a fair and just business world that is what it means. 

I'm of the type of group that believes if someone makes a video of any sort online, and that video is original or re-packaged as to be different and not the same as before, that person who made that happen, the video Creator, should  be fairly compensated. Who the **** was the person who said the internet should be like America's Funniest Home Videos on Crack. I'd like to shoot that person, the fool. That **** ain't the truth. AMV makers are like hip-hop musicians. They're creating art too. They're taking samples to make their mixes too. And by that logic, if their video does well, they should be compensated with any advertising revenue their video and channel accumulate. That's work too. I don't see why you should "not" be paid for it.  If you're creating market value, you should be allowed to share in your own market value YOU'VE created. Just because YouTube or any other websites not paying you doesn't mean your worth any less than me or anyone else. Let the online ratings decide who deserves to be compensated and who doesn't, by the number of views their ad-supported video gets.

Okay. Class Dismissed. Now get out there, and make me some cool videos to watch.

If you do something obscene and evil and mean, no that's not worth anything.

But if it's innovative and creative and new, it has a market value, or at the very least it should be negotiable.
