I was making fun of the analyst who claims to know YouTube is losing massive amounts of money but actually doesn't have any real facts.
I do bet YouPorn has trouble converting ads though since they give everything away and have huge foreign traffic (80+ percent is foreign). And as an Alexa top #100 site the expense does have to be massive.
There was a great article about YouPorn a while back that talked some numbers:
They tried to sell to Vivid, but Vivid balked because of legalities (hard to comply with the law with user generated porn). Back then they were doing $120k a month in advertising.
