Answer: start such a service yourself and keep all the money .

That's what several media companies are considering in the wake of YouTube's popularity .

In a widely-covered Wall Street Journal article last week, it was revealed that Viacom, Fox, CBS, and NBC were in talks to create a YouTube competitor that would let the networks keep all the ad dollars .

It might happen, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea .
