One of YouTube's huge benefits is that it's an archive. Videos published in 2008 which get 10 views a year are still available. If a video had to be popular enough for someone to still be seeding it 5 years later, a huge amount of valuable content would just drop off the web.

- blake8086 13y agoIs it valuable if it gets 10 views a year?
- evandena 13y agoTo those 10 viewers, yes. The other day I watched a infrequently viewed video on how to install carpet on stairs, uploaded by a professional carpet installer (and not some profit generating wikihow crap). I consider this one of YouTube's most powerful features... it's a trove of self help videos for almost everything.
