Have you seen youtube comments? They probably are coming from the non-techies.

...and yet, populated with hordes of non-techies, Google still hasn't been able to move YouTube from substantial loss to minimal profit (even when the world was in the middle of a "Web 2.0" tech boom!).

Now that we're in a bust, what does that tell you about their future prospects?
