We were talking about YouTube in class.  I remember coming across this article about a week ago. It talks about how YouTube and CBS are now partnering to have full episodes of some CBS shows like Dexter and Beverly Hills 90201. They are generating money through pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads (before, during, and after the video). However, its only available in the States.

We just have to see if this is going to change peoples viewing habits. Personally, when i watch tv i never pay attention to the ads but if I have to just sit through one 30 second ad, it may force me to stay focused.

And i guess my point is that if this is a success, it may be transfered over to other Youtube users like Fred where people wouldn't mind watching the ad for the "entertainment" they are going to receive.
