He's just another bitchy whiny brat with a Stanford PhD (which doesn't take a genius to obtain).

By that time, Blinggerang will have boomeranged back into another division at Google, or god forbid his OWN startup. Naw, he’s not talented enough.

I still don’t see how my 20-something demo should care to see advertisements for back pain medication while watching a show about video games.

I'd be curious to see if they ever break out the operational expenses of YouTube at some point in their SEC filings, as it would serve as a useful datapoint. However, Google can operate YouTube much, much cheaper than your average video site.</p> I agree that Google would just as well leave YouTube as a loss-leader.
