>There is no way Youtube generates anywhere close to that much in ad revenue per user per month.

What is your basis for believing that?

This is hardly my area of expertise, but my understanding was that banner ads generate less than a penny per view. I'm sure video ads are worth much more, but I'm finding it quite hard to believe that could add up to $10 per month for even a heavy single user.

If this is all terribly off-base, let me know.
