There are several services which allow video uploads for "free" not really for free.

People have to understand that those companies are burning VC money to bait and switch people.

It is basically "dumping" and starving any competition until they find way to extract money from users ... or just sell BS to investors that they will get money from users.



In general I'm starting to think that we should be worried with many of these "free" or VC funded services if there is a big market correction any time soon. It might be viable model currently, but clearly not forever... And I hope the legislation wisens up for next round. Clearly many markets just aren't healthy.
