And what are barely political’s plans after the election? Or what will they do when they don’t have a once-in-a-lifetime political star like Obama? More “girls?” Yeah, the public will eat that up for years to come–nobody will grow tired of it.

Saying the popularity of content creators like BP last about day was a figure of speech, but what is not a figure of speech is that barely political has already peaked. NNN can’t count on them to bring them any money. Fortunately for you, BP didn’t take over 20 million in funding, so even the your job at BP won’t last, you’re not in nearly in as bad of a place as the investors of NNN.

According to TubeMogul, they barely touch 44 million views. And they do NOT have the number#1 video on YouTube. Their highest viewed video “I Got a Crush on Obama” has less than 9 million views and the top 100 all have close to 20 million. #1 pfftt…who are you lying to? Get your numbers straight boy.

That disclosure out of the way, BarelyPolitical’s ‘day’ has lasted a year so for. Currently they have the #1 video on YouTube and like 50million views in the last year.

The idea of NNN sounded questionable from the get-go. I was shocked when they got their first 8million.

If they ever had a strategy for building verticals, they never showed it. They hopped on what’s hot for the day (barely political, epic fu) but whats hot in online video lasts for about a day. It doesn’t scale and very, very, very few make money. Ask a ninja made enough for the creator to have a decent living for a few years, but there aren’t enough Ask a ninjas out there for a $3 million investment, let alone in the 20′s.

If content is king (which it isn’t), NNN would be a serf.
