I did a startup like this once... Unfortunately, I discovered that most people weren't motivated by money the way I assumed they were.

This is a question of scale. a few bucks for writing ehow articles or squidoo lenses, not many people motivated or interested, but $1000 week driving for Uber, and suddenly you have a business.

Youtube is driven much more by social incentive and the need to express oneself...the revshare is not the primary driver.
