Life insurance ads perhaps.

But if your content is free and you don't really moderate, what's hosting cost?

Just gotta appeal to your clientele and your advertising will be successful.

Maybe I should white-label purchase some beef jerky and just advertise on sites like this.

There is plenty of content they can't host and I'm sure tons of people were anxious to find examples they could use to take the site down with. Powerful governments aren't exactly too keen on the populous getting a real perspective of what war is like.

Also, bandwidth and power isn't cheap. They have to pay for it somehow.

Hosting video with lots of views probably isn't cheap.

Oh, so what do you do?

I run a Beef Jerky as a Service thing but really it's just a lever against inefficient ads networks' partner's policies.

This may be absolutely the most niche joke I've ever read in my life, and I am absolutely loving every word of it!

Hosting can cost quite a lot, these days usually due to data transfer but storage and compute can certainly pile up.

They do moderate it though. They have spent a fair bit of time removing certain shooting videos.

Probably super easy to monetize. The world isn't just Google Ad{Word/Sense} and Facebook Ads

Absolutely not.

So much of their content goes against the TOS of the major advertisers that no one wants to work with them.

Theres literally a million sketchy ad companies out there that would be happy to buy that traffic

Who would want to serve ads on Liveleak beyond the sketchy penis enlargement people?

Safety device manufacturers (whether for OSHA type safety or crime safety) would actually have been a good industry for this.

If it is super easy then can you list what advertiser networks or affiliate networks they should use? Also it's not like somebody going to watch a Liveleak video has any commercial intent so the ad RPMs will be really low

But that's the very large majority...
