No but if you put product advertising all over it, it might.
Not really.
Product placement and advertising only pay reasonably well if you can target them at the right groups, and if you have a fairly good "platform" that will get the views withing the right timescale.
For example you'll get so little advertising revenue at some points on broadcast TV that the channels will give slots away free because they can't sell them (usually this applies to out of prime time hours and lesser channels) - hence why during the early hours on the likes of Discovery you'll get fewer adverts and many of them will be things like "infomercials" or PPI etc.
Advertisers won't want to pay a lot for product placement on something that might not get many views for weeks/months, as they often time their advertising quite specifically, so they won't pay for advertising if the show is going out "out of season" for some things, or after they've been pushing the product in question (IE they won't pay anything like as much for PP to show their new car if the program is not going to be seen by many until months after the car has launched).
Streaming revenues on the likes of youtube are usually a pittance, often you'll need hundreds of thousands/millions of views of your content to get close to paying the wages of half a dozen staff, let alone a proper TV production (typically even a simple comedy or panel show might have 50-100 people involved, plus all the costs of things like the studio and equipment).
Most of the "TV" style content on youtube falls into two categories:
The illegally uploaded (no need to pay anyone involved so the uploader is happy with whatever he gets).
Stuff that has been broadcast on traditional TV already, has a relatively low "repeat" value except as advertising for the new episodes being broadcast.
Basically advertising is pretty cut throat and highly targeted, with the result that unless you can show you'll get exactly who the advertisers are after at the right time, they'll pay peanuts at best.
