Their latest Top 5 video or whatever did 100,000 viewers, which is about how many people tuned off their TV product this year. Keep in mind that some of these people probably watch anyway. They're not going viral. They have 2 million subscribers, which is in line between the ratio of people who watch Raw each week and then watch the YouTube videos they promote. There's no major internet boom, and yes, ratings do still matter to the fucking TV networks that need to schedule their programming. That is why TNA got booted from 8pm to 10pm and why they are now off POP.

Try and survive solely on YouTube clips that fewer than 150,000 people watch. I dare ya.

The idea of the YouTube clips, besides generating a tiny bit of ad revenue, would be to drive people towards the product -- not away from it.

What the fuck did he do for the brand?!? You can say it is good and that you love it, and that's your shitty taste, but what growth have they actually fucking shown? They've lost ratings, TV deals and their YouTube videos don't seem to be able to make up for it, statistically. It's not like they're doing 1 million on YouTube and people just don't have the channel.
