$30 million? Yikes! MonkeySee looks like the best of them all and they are only in 1/30th as deep. Sounds like the other guys have something to worry about.

I don’t believe it. I did a quick count of the content they’ve produced and it appears they’ve shot four our five thousand videos already. That’s not possible on a million dollars.
