Why Pearl Jam videos since no more MTV videos?

The Fixer had a video and the JustB. was an ACL live "release" and I heard there was an Amongst The Waves video coming... haven't seen that yet.... but what is the purpose of Pearl Jam making videos when there is no where to view them? Of course there is here and youtube, but if there is an Amongst the Waves video wouldn't that capitol be a greater investment if it was used to make a Philly Night 3 - 2009 or MSG Night 2 - 2010 dvd? But my broad question is if you think any band should even bother making videos at all any more?

I'm sure there's some good videos out there. Most recent one that I really loved was Little Motel by Modest Mouse. The Ok Go video was pretty genius.

Here is some info from HIP:
Q: MTV used to be the only game around – how has that changed?
Who are today's major music videos outlets?
HIP: MTV is still a huge player in the video world, but other outlets such as Fuse, Much Music, Fuel TV, MTV Latin America, and on-demand outlets like Havoc TV and Music Choice, and others have all stepped up as big players as well.
When we started in late 2000, a music video was an expensive undertaking, beyond the fiscal range of most independent artists, and there were only a limited number of programming outlets for those who could afford it.
It‘s undeniable that the revolution in technology has changed all of that. The widespread availability of digital video and broadband and wireless Internet has put professional grade production quality and worldwide dissemination capability into the hands of the masses; more than at any time in the past, it’s a must that a compelling music video accompanies any band or artist’s new music release.
This same technological explosion, though, has made the music video programming world exponentially more complex and chaotic than it has ever been before - it's the Wild, Wild West out there, and the number of music video outlets is constantly growing.
I watch fuse when they have a cool band on, and yes, I think bands should still put out videos, I like the creativity outlet (when they have control over it). I remember buying music videos on VHS, and recording from MTV...playing the tapes at parties...ah, the old days...
