Youtube has not only pulled ahead of Google Video and all the other video dump sites (ie; dailymotion, livemotion, etc.), but incredibly some of the clones in other industries are doing the same thing.

Most notably the adult free porn videos sites have also taken off in popularity.

Websites such as http://www.freepornvideos69.com (NSFW) and others are some of the most visited sites on the Internet.
