You're awesome Rox. Thanks for persevering and doing what you love.
You are a great example to point to when people start out in this
medium, or any medium actually. Some people get into something like
web video or blogging and make something for a couple months, then get
frustrated when nobody
It's not unlike TV, really. There are thousands of bad channels, a
lot of shitty formats, and a small amount of shows of real quality.
In terms of availability of IPTV, and the development of web TV, it's
like TV was back in the mid 1940s.
The money and infrastructure in TV allows the
I am enjoying reading all these comments - though my head is like a
ping pong ball banging back and forth as I agree with virtually all of
the statements!
Most of all though I have had a lifelong irritation with virtually
every industry I have worked in that values the stuff more than the
people.
One word: Karma.
Anyone remember them scraping various video sites (*cough*blip*cough*) and
claiming the videos/users as their own? That was just before they closed a big

That is true...but they did eventually take all those videos down.
I have to say that Dmitri has always been really friendly and nice, across many
interactions over many years, and today of all days I want to wish him and
everyone who worked at Veoh well.

I actually think about everyone in our Web video world all those years ago
as being somewhat of a pioneer.
There is a rich spectrum of problems in this area and I dont see any signs that
any have improved since we first talked about these issues years ago.
Problems such as:
Creating compelling content
Getting an audience large enough to monetize in any meaningful way
Lack of promotion capabilities
As a viewer I remain pissed off that when I go looking for regular compelling
content I usually find magazine-format programs that dont float my boat for
reasons of my age, the pace of the show, or cultural incompatibilities (eg I
like Americans but where the hell are the British shows not

I'm decloaking to roundly agree with you. I've been in discussions with
several local TV broadcasters here in Chicago who
Do you think its safe to try discussing the creation aspect, now that there are
presumably less people participating here, and there is no longer a danger of
urinating on the newborn flames of vlog hope where everything seemed possible

'larger-than-life' that showbiz requires, that are just the same as the ways
normal people have entertained eachother on a close personal level since time

My friend, David,
i dont think their is much getting around the fact that making good money
with web video 'shows' is extremely difficult and frustrating.
in a sense, technology advancements have helped and hindered. accessible
tech equates to enormous competition, redundancy and noise. imagine if

Oh. I expected more web video companies to go bust more quickly than has
actually been the case, so in some ways I am surprised it took this long for
another well-known player to fail.
Ive read at least one article that suggests the Universal Music lawsuit was the
main factor that killed them
By the way their website is still up as I write this, although when poking

Did some brief trawling through the archives of this group circa 2005-2006
and saw one reason why I remember Veoh - Their founder was active here when
they started, and the Halycon bloke with pink hair rather overpromoted them
on this group from time to time.
