The ad model is only failing because of the current paradigm. YouTube, Facebook, etc. are not bringing in enough ad revenue to be profitable now but that's only because online advertising represents only a tiny fraction of the total ad market.
Wait until print and radio go extinct and a lot more television content is delivered through online means. Those ad dollars will come online and follow the users who are, you guessed it, already firmly entrenched on YouTube and Facebook.
It's a long-term strategy taken by a company with very deep pockets that can afford to wait for the shift. Unfortunately the economy taking a dump has slowed this transition and the funnel of ad dollars online, which is why people are writing articles dooming the YouTube model.
