Thanks for posting, but it and the comments that followed were just annoying. Totally misses the point.
One day soon someone will come up with a video interface that truly brings internet TV to the couch for more than just geeks, which shows more than just badly encoded 5 minute YouTube funnies and stolen archive clips. Then some money will come. And not the kind of money that they extort for TV. On top of that, the video content will be densely interwoven with a mass of other videos and media and text pages and social networks. All of which provide their own monetisation opportunities. Adverts will be related to the content in some way. It won't just be advertisers having a single one-way chance to interrupt your favourite shows for five minutes every quarter of an hour to fire shouty messages at you that are totally unrelated to what you're watching, hoping that some of their shit sticks next time you're out shopping. Thank god. I don't even really care about this that passionately - I don't intend to make my living from internet TV or a web 2.0 startup. But all this seems so obvious to me that I'm just amazed when other people rail against it as if online video is just some kind of passing fad. Whatever.
