This was bound to happen at some point. It will definitely not affect my YouTube experience. Definitely a smart move on their part however. My eyes tend to ignore anything under the word “sponsors” or “sponsored” these days.

Full length movies, eh? Sick.

Full length movies are going to be one heck of a drain on their resources, the last thing you want is a stuttering film?

Yeah, Google is lucky to have plenty smart employees among its staff. This feature had to emerge long-long ago. Finally we have it; so the news is really perfect.

You know it Salihu and Saad. You know Google likes to stay in (BETA) for ever it seems sometimes. I guess then they can blame any mistakes on being in beta…

…or maybe it’s because they have more PHDs working for them than a hospital, they just like to make sure the quality is super!

Google & Co is dominating news headlines right across the board. This model seems to be an effective way of monetizing their YouTube investment.

There are a lot of smart people at google. Like Kamal says.. It’s crazy for not trying this earlier. Maybe they want everything to be perfect.

We new that Google would be monetizing Youtube eventually, it would be stupid for them not to. They even started putting ads at the bottom of the google image search page. Great move on their part though. Internet Marketing Access's last blog post..What Is Split Testing And Why You Should Do It

Jordan you’re always on top of the latest news. Anyway, this is awesome I think. A least something new to play (test) with.

But I guess we should have known that Google had something more up their sleeves with the money they put for YouTube.

YouTube has traffic and Google is the master at monetizing traffic. Match made.
