The Silent Google-YouTube Coup Thanks to "Max Keiser and Alex Jones"

By sv: Inside press institutions, the articles are the commercials for the one-statists’ Chosen Way and the commercials are the articles.  This is actually how it is referred to at major publications, and the layout of many of the nation’s “top” newspapers clearly display the emphasis on selling. At YouTube, owned by Google, an orchestrated incremental implementation of advertisements on videos has taken a few years. But now the Age of YouTube is coming to pass, as YouTube transforms into a neo-television platform.  At first, on some videos, an ad would pop up, but you could skip the ad pretty easily. And then, these ads cropped up ahead of more-and-more videos until, eventually, ads you could not skip appear on nearly each video you watch.  And that is precisely Google’s-YouTube Silent Coup.  In May of 2012, YouTube was serving over two billion videos per day or “nearly double the prime-time audience of all three major US television networks combined.” In other words, Google is increasing their revenue considerably with the most recent uptick in advertisement.
When Google bought YouTube back in 2006 for $1.65 billion, Google CEO said that the website needed some work.  Back then, the only ads you could see on YouTube were the “overlay” advertisements run at the bottom of the screen. That was to end, as in 2008 Google began mulling pre-roll ads for YouTube, but was not sure if the company was organized enough to begin the transition.  At that point, only one temp worker could sign off on ad proposals.
Also back then, many felt YouTube did not have the quality content advertisers would want to associate themselves with. But, the pre-roll ads have become a reality, and sometimes before a clip that lasts just a couple minutes or less, one will be left no other option but to watch a thirty second video. That content-filler ratio is even worse than television…
The pre-rolls were considered heavily early on in the Google YouTube Coup because they are among the most interruptive forms of advertisement.
Google obviously felt that the time was now to introduce widespread pre-roll advertisements since it felt that no longer could it alienate a bulk of its usership: in other words, enough YouTube users had become addicted.
Ensuring there were not too many ads might have been a concern of Google in regards to YouTube in 2008, but today it appears any hesitation is gone.
Since that time, tens-of-thousands of quality videos have been uploaded to YouTube. Not only do all major music artists be sure they have their own channels, but oftentimes television shows and businesses from all industries ensure the same. On top of that, the neo-journalism movement of truth has flooded the web with anti-establishment “filler.”  Each Max Keiser video, of which he uploads a couple per week, receives about 30,000 plays. Alex Jones documentaries can receive more than one million views.
The silent Google-YouTube has picked up particularly in just the last few weeks, and it has been given scant attention.  It might now be YouTube’s time to become profitable.  Next, they’ll probably be turning over user info like Twitter and Facebook.
Although many websites, such as Silver Vigilante, depend on advertisements, it is easy to turn them off with programs such as AdBlock Plus.
