Lots of people put their shows on Youtube, hoping a major studio will pick up their concept. This happened to "Riese Kingdom Falling" which went viral and so was picked up by Syfy Channel. Of course, the odds are very slim that another person's production will get picked up, but the odds are also slim for a movie making its money back - or for someone to get a TV show.
I'm thinking of doing this, as a low-risk way to get into the business. There is an advantage to this route, because you can cultivate a client base over time, while movies are hit-and-miss (will distributors pick it up?) and TV shows are often cancelled if they don't produce ratings immediately (remember what nearly happened to the old Star Trek?).
