Good news for Tubers: Today in Davos, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley said that the site will soon start sharing revenue with its users:

"We are getting an audience large enough where we have an opportunity to support creativity, to foster creativity through sharing revenue with our users," Hurley said at the World Economic Forum. "So in the coming months, we are going to be opening that up."

Though Hurley didn't elaborate, a few months ago ETP looked at how monetizing YouTube might work, including using contextual advertising like Google AdSense. Either way, looks like a big payday coming up for Justin Laipply!
