Okdork.com:

Hosting videos is bandwidth and cost intensive, so let Youtube worry about those costs. In the meantime, aggregate and embed their popular videos on your own website and surround them with Google Adsense.

Some sites have already started to exploit this:

ViralVideochart.com

NBAjunkie.com

VideoBomb.com

Cyber-Knowledge.net

But wait! Before you try this, know that it violates Youtube’s terms of service.

It is certainly possible to aggregate legally. You can link directly to the video source instead of embedding (like KungFuGrip.com). But I imagine we’re going to see lots of video scraping and embedding in 2007, as aggregated and vertical video content sites becomes popular.
