You think that people will pay to host (smaller) photos, but not (larger) videos?

The fact that people are willing to pay for smaller photos is a fantastic sign that they would pay for larger videos!

They might pay to host higher quality or longer videos. Here are some things a premium youtube could provide:

- longer videos

- higher quality videos (for screencast, plays, etc)

- spam filtering or policing comments

- ???
