Re: YouTube Rolls Out Its InVideo Service to Select Partners
So here's my two cents And I've done a video on this (click to see: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BXDlfSrm2ZQ)
If you hate these, you're probably either a purist that hates ads completely or resent that you're not in the advertising sharing program. Both of those are legitimate positions. I can respect either.
But if you want to argue that these are the wrong WAY to monetize the site, then I beg you to come up with something that commands this type of price from marketers (and worth the premium from low-end banners) and doesn't create a horrible interuption for the viewer. Seriously. If not this, what?
The only post I've seen about this today (and I've been reading them in amazement all over the web) is the one above... where someone would rather pay to avoid ads. I can imagine that service eventually being offered. But very few would do that. I might... because I value the content I watch and I'm not crazy about ads. But I don't hold any pretentions that my viewers would EVER cover the cost (time) of my videos. Advertisers? Maybe...
P.S. I'm biased because I'm in the partners program. If I wasn't, I'd be grumbling about that. And I'd probably grumble about the ads, but I don't think I can think of a better way to compromise financial realities with user experience.
