I'm not the least bit surprised by this one. 60 Frames green lit some of the dumbest content out there, and relied heavily in it's latter days on BCD-List Celebrity content that no one cares about. Online viewers don't like burnt out tv/film celebrities online like Jerry O'Connell, David Hasselhoff and Illeana Douglas. Web viewers want to see innovative content, written for the web, not rejected tv pilots split into episodes. 60 Frames never knew what they were doing, and they imploded from within because their leadership wasn't in touch with New Media creators, he was instead focused on bringing old media to new media. 60 Frames deserves to be a victim of the old media not understanding web creators, and more old media led new media companies will follow.

there is no wonder why Fred Wilson can’t get the right numbers for his venture capital math problem on his http://avc.com blog. the vc industry keeps investing in companies with dreams and no clear path to exit. if i had even a quarter of that funding i’d show the world capital efficiency and profitability on the turn of a year. keep wasting the dollars, a business shut down shows no innovation.

Another example of how both VCs and media companies are poorly playing the online video content card.

The VCs look for something “competitive” to give them an edge, when that something means little in the market.

The media backers look for hits, which mean little by way of monetization.
