Like I mean maybe if I get a really cute cat, I could make internet content of said cat and never have to work again. That said it would likely involve finding a way to beat all the current cat videos that are out of cats. But does seem like quite a few people can at least get some money off youtube for their cute cat videos. That said I would not get a cat just to make videos, like I really do want a pet cat in general but it would be cool to be able to make fun videos of the cat and potentially earn a little money that way. I mean the owner of Angry Cat must have made some money, sadly angry cat has died but he will forever live on, I even found an angry cat shirt at the thrift store I work at that says I hate mondays. I don't work monday so tuesday is my first day of work so if I wear that shirt on my work week I usually wear it on tuesday since its basically my monday. Mostlly I got it because I found out angry cat died and then saw the t-shirt and figured I should buy it since I had enjoyed all the images and such of angry cat I guess as kind of a tribute, I couldn't help getting the shirt.

But also what if I could make cool cat videos and earn some income that way, seems other people can do it.

I think that cats are the most popular with dogs being a close second.

You’re both wrong.

It’s porn.

Yeah. I was gonna say that porn is the biggest thing on the Net, and other sexual content.

But after that, then yes. Cute cat videos might well be the biggest thing. But I don't know how you would monetize a cute video of your cat. And unlike porn- cute pets vids- may have a large demand... but its balanced by a huge supply. Folks can make vids of their pets more easily than they can most anything else (clean, or dirty). So your advertising revenue would bet bid down to near nothing. Ofcourse the cost of production is also near zero ( a lot cheaper than hiring the current equivalent of John Holmes, and Linda Lovelace, and a camera crew, etc.. But even so...don't rely on that vid of your kitty doing that cute thing for your rent.

I was just going to say that maybe it's something else. It's a pretty sad world we live in, if porn is the most popular thing on the Internet.

This is what happens when you rely too heavily on cat vids to pay your bills :arrow:

But she has definitely spent to much time MAKING cat videos! 8O

Why not?

They are the most popular with me. I try to get my daily dose of cute cat videos.
