Yeah, with his small subscriber base his ad revenue is probably non-existent. Between not getting enough traffic to make money from that and- what I'm going to assume is he's already printed up a bunch of DVDs he would probably lose money trying to rely solely on the ads. If he had a million subs he could profit, but not the few hundred he's got. The ads already running on his trailers probably don't help, and most people would probably only watch those shorts online once. Still, I don't imagine the online sales are great either and unless his budget is virtually nothing to make them (which it looks like they are) he'd probably never make back what was put into them. Probably loses money on the whole thing no matter which method of distribution used.
And all that said, I wouldn't spend $20 on a copy of the DVD of any of those for the sure to be disappointing low budget TFs that
might be in them.
