Why aren't you posting your content on the other services you mentioned anyway?

I am not the OP, but IME YouTube is by far the easiest to make ad money from.

Google giveth and Google taketh away (often without you really knowing why).

In my experience producing web video content (especially if you plan on eventually selling ads against it), it's best to aggregate it on one platform. And traffic and visibility-wise, YouTube is the place to do it.
I hate to see anyone build a business based on one platform. I haven't looked at your content, but I'm pretty sure the biggest web video producer I know of (Leo Laporte/TWiT.tv) would disagree with your comment. Gain audience any way you can before trying to monetize.
