I think inserting adverts isn't a good idea in the long term, as it lessens the enjoyment for users (we've come to accept it on TV, but on a 3 minute video?). Maybe your sponsorship idea would be a good compromise, if they word it in such a way that it feels like the sponsor has enabled the video-maker to produce their work. So the sponsorship would be seen to be "enabling" the user's enjoyment of new videos, rather than getting in the way of their enjoyment Cheers, Jon Yea, it’s tricky.

People love that when they are part of a community, I just wonder if if they could get enough to really make a big income difference.

Or a faster server for premium members Cheers, Jon Nice idea Ben
