YouTube plans to commit suicide…more or less
YouTube has officially announced that, beginning in 2008, the site will feature 30-second commercials before each video. Because Google loves money and hates us. At first I was outraged, but after much in-depth thought ? including plenty of head scratching and chin rubbing ? I concluded it’ll all probably go down just like Facebook’s News Feed: We hated it when it first popped up, but now…can you really picture your life without it?
Still, I think Adam Frucci of Gizmodo put it best:
There ain’t no way I’m sitting through 30 torturous seconds of advertising for a 15 second video of a guy lighting his farts on fire.
