Commercials on User Generated Video

Posted on July 24, 2007 – 9:32 pm

As more people spent time watching video clips on YouTube instead of TV, can the inclusion of commericals be far behind?

On the web today, you see advertising everywhere – on personal webpages, news sites, search pages, blogs, email, etc.  The next step is clearly video.  Someone will commercialize a way to easily insert advertising into user generated video.  Whether it be before, during, or after, commericals will start appear on these videos. 

This new pay-per-view model will finally reward viral video creators.  Why shouldn’t the fat kid making funny noises benefit from our amusement?
