I agree with Kent. I've met Robert and enjoyed our conversation together. I've never met John - it sounds like he wants to do the right thing, though. There are certainly a lot worse "video network" companies out there.
I wish a lot more emphasis was placed on the "discovery" process so that more people would be sent the video producers way. As Google has proven, there is still a lot of money to be made on sending eyeballs to other people's sites. To that point, we have seen a 500% traffic growth this year and our #1 clicked on links are our "outgoing" links to producer's websites. Of course, we haven't exactly made any money yet, but I am confident that those opportunities will present themselves without having to modify this core mission of connecting viewers and producers.
