I think he just stepped in over his head and his mouth wrote a check he can’t cash. No one was making money off of viral videos when he started up YouTube, so there was no business incentive to stop YouTube. There are business incentives to nip YouTunes in the bud, I think.
get eefoofed!
Towards what pointless end, eefoofer? Why would I submit myself to the vagaries of a bunch of 14 year-old moderators who are more interested in preserving their fiefdoms than driving traffic to the site?
