I came across this news item this morning and thought you'd all like to see it.
It seems that YT will be getting ads added to some videos. This is how google is trying to get some money out of the site. The ads will be placed on "partner's" videos so we probably won't see them unless you watch Letterman or maybe Lonelygirl.
Here's the link to read it yourself

yt is gonna suck if they put adds on it !!! :(
Did you read the article? They would only be on partner's videos and you could click them off so you have control. Google has to pay for the site somehow and this would be the least intrusive way to do so. I don't know if the guys are partners or not but this would be a lot better then having a 20 second pre-roll like some sites
Blunty3000 has a nice video about it that he put up today. Check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM6wnPhGgls
Aw man, lame.
But I don't watch that shit so I shouldn't be affected anyhow.
Who knows how far it will go. They may ask people to have the ads on their vids and share some funds for each view.
Nice avatar BTW. You're looking good. :-)
thats boo boo ???????????? holy fuck , i feel sooooooooooo dirty , the dirty wont wash off omg fell sooooo dirty im sooooooo dirty
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
laugh my fuckin ass off lol
Alright, I suppose this is the part of the show where Ryan and I reveal/remind/announce we're YT partners. We haven't seen any ads on our vids yet, but we have had banner ads for awhile.
We can't really say how much we've made, but let's just say every little bit helps us make vids, and rationalized spending time on SNOWMEN HUNTERS-like fare instead of chasing down real money in 'straight' work.
To those who hate, Hate, HATE the idea of any ads on YT (or other sites for that matter) I have a fair question: How long do you think your favorite filmmakers will keep putting out highly produced (yes, snicker is you must. I often do...) stuff for free? Yeah, you can crank out a vlog forever, but how about shooting with a 5 person crew for four days?
Begging, borrowing and favors only get so far. From where we're sitting, some funding has to be found to keep the cameras rolling.
But we'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
I understand that YT must make money to support the site or it will be history. And the type of ads that are going to be put on are much better then the very annoying pre-roll kind where I'd have to wait for the ad to end before I get to see what I came for.
So I'm in favor of this kind of ad being used as long as the makers of the vids get a cut (how ever small it may be). I get paid for contrabutions to newsvine.com for the ads that run on articles I seed or if I do a column. Made almost half a dollar in the last 6 months. Yeah
What I wonder is if Google will have to hire more people to reveiw what vids get which ads and if so will the laws of deminishing supply come into effect where the ads don't pay for the new hires? Maybe the partners could select from a list of sponsors for their vids and YT would ok or not the selections. Pick 2 from column A and 2 from column B
but they made enough $$ b4 to throw one of those huge fucking confrence things that ryan and chirs went to , they didn't have them then , wtf and they just did that thing with those fucking democrats on tv the debate thing , they must have got somthing from that l
ike what the fuck eh????
"I understand that YT must make money to support the site or it will be history."
I honestly don't think there's a risk of that anytime soon.
And as for the ads thing, as long as I can skip them and they're not interrupting my fun, I don't give a crap if YT gets them. The minute they start annoying me like on most shitty video sites, YT is a thing of the past. And that would be a shame, because I love it so.
Castle, I love you man, but are you kidding me?
When they were cool enough to have Ryan and I there, they were still running off start-up funds (as far as I've been able to tell) when they had the biz-dev conference. And the point of that conference was to inform the sales staff on what YT was all about, so they could go out and actually make money by selling real ads (and not the Google Adsense ads they'd had until that point).
Besides, the price of that conference was basically renting a big hotel ballroom, not exactly a huge expense. I mean, don't make it out like they were burning through millions in a pre-Bubble 1990s-style, Pets.com way.
And enough with the F-bombs. You sound like a junior-high kid.
Look, I'm not taking a back-seat to anyone when it comes to advocating this new style of media, the freedom, the grassroots authenticity, the creativity, the wild-west balls-out attitude, but the bottom line is if we can't figure out a way to get producers money for what they do, they'll stop doing it. What happened to LonelyGirl when she wanted to make real money? She left the show. If we all want more ASK A NINJA, or whatever, we need the creators paid, like the creators of old-media shows.
Or let me put it another way: If we were able to make a certain level of cash, we'd still be cranking out four episdes a month.
I love you man.
