Haha...Nice one! The future of YouTube will be sponsored vids imo. Standard commercials won´t fit for the whole concept of this site. The community has to be treated politely. Cheerz
Now google owns youtube all hope is lost. Give them about a year to think up some wicked marketing ploy and youtube will be google video, laced with ads and other global domination schemes for the masses.
I fear more the less blatant forms of sponsorship - like what happened over at WalMartingAcrossAmerica, which was paid for by Wal-Mart, but without notice.
I wouldn't be too surprised to find out that this kind of arrangement is already going on, with supposedly independent original home-made videos actually being created with the support of PR firms working for specific clients.
LOL that was awesome. i did have a thought, and though i do think sneaky advertising is a great way to lose integrity, it only works if you buy into the person pitching it. i mean, if the person selling out is a total poser, then who cares if he's making a buck drinking a coke on cam? the poser just shouldn't expect anyone to take him seriously after exposing the barcode on his ass cheeks
Would you like to buy one of our "Walking Sticks With An Attitude?" Just go to our ebay store listed on our site and and help old man (76) and woman living on social security who just need a few more dollars a month to make it. We earn the money by working for it using our artistic talents. Gene (Mr. GeezerArt) is an awesome folk artist and I love him very much! There! Now that's a true advertisement. Honest and with out all the BullSxxx! lol
I am 183cm tall (i think that are 6 feet or so) and i am not used to looking in other faces from that perspective. This makes me feel bad because it reminds me of my dentist. So please place the camera higher next time. Thanks!
I have to say that was the first video I watched that promted an instantaneous burst of laughter. I wasn't expecting that at all. lol. Sponsership is ok I guess as long as it was upfont and obvious and as Cory said that the money was used for either making better vids or giving back to the community. I'm sure many UTubers come here because they are sick of advertising on mainstrem media?
I think sponsorship is good as long as your using the money for what it's ment for... better videos. I am the guy you're talking about and yes, I am totally open about my sponsorship.. but the reason people don't get upset about it is just because I'm not being sneaky about it... as a matter of fact, I'm proud of it.
Hi Ken. Sorry this isn't a video response. It's too easy to be non-judgemental about this and say that it's okay if done openly and honestly. While advertising can be done creatively it has nothing to do with the original concept of somebody's film and is nothing more than an annoying distraction and vain attempt to get money. Advertising is almost always dishonest by its nature. I hate it!
That is the first time I have laughed out loud watching YouTube. Totally unexpected Ken. If I hadn't already, I'd subscribe today! It would be terrible if you became branded "The Shit Man" though.
That was genius! Tears in my eyes from laughter. I don't see a problem with sponsored videos. I'd prefer that the Director was open about what they are promotiong (I find product placement sneaky, although ethically I don't object) and as with all effective advertising that it's relevant.
Kenrg, my company would be happy to sponsor you any day! Do you take payment in the form of a 6 Pack?
Check me out.

"Yes indeed. I made it myself." I replied.
"Would you like one can or two"?
