In these early stages of the content boom, advertising seems like a good source of revenue. However, the internet can not support the amount of content that is being written right now. It's almost like we're experiencing a "content bubble." Whenever an asset class bears excellent returns with seemingly little risk, you get a boom in investment. Witness the collapse of the housing bubble for evidence. What prevents content from experiencing a similar bubble? What will be the fallout if this content bubble bursts? Will content writers be affected or only the Googles and venture capitalists of the world? I have been troubled by this same question.

This is a great time for videos. Although videos can be passed around, they can't as easy be copied without the new buyer/owner knowing where it originally came from.
