"Desperation?" That's the best way to sell ads! People have been direct-selling ads since the beginning of online advertising. It's how magazines often handle their ads too. I don't think they should be taking a cut though, seeing as you'd be doing all of the work. That's the real benefit of selling ads directly: Cutting out the middleman and avoiding losing half your potential profit.

YouTube provides the technology, servers, bandwidth and audience.
If you want 100% of the revenue, you should host your own content on your own servers, using your own bandwidth and selling your own ads. That would be doing all the work.

Hmm, interesting, I wonder what kind of higher quality ads we will begin to see. I would love to get some better monetization out of my channel.

Hi, Adam: We've actually had this in place at Revver for about 8 months, and it works well for those creators who have the ability to take advantage of it. In Revver's model, they get to keep their half of the ad revenue split, and earn a commission on top of that for selling the ad.

We have had this in place on FilmFitti.com since November of 07. Content providers get 80% of the ad sale revenue. Advertisers make 10% on their spots they buy if it sells after they own it.
