It already did come true except it's working backwards. Dysgenics.

Even 2 years ago, YouTube was not a profitable venture by most sources available on the web.

These days though, Google is monetizing something like 1+ billion (yes, billion) videos a month. Plus the introduction of the paid (subscription) channel pilot model will open up a new line of potential income.
