So adsense doesn't work either. They will now have access to cracking open YouTube and studing the largest pool of Flash Data ever. This is great for companies programming in Flash, and good for being able to put Adsense next to Flash assets. BOO YA. #6 – Google does a crap job of indexing flash video.

It does not matter whether YouTube will eventually make money or not. As long as the strategic move serves the strategic purpose, in this case eliminating potential downside effect and catching more dropping eyeballs, the risk is worth taken.
