I mean think about it really. We have advertisements before a video. A rollup on the video that you have to close. Advertisement on the side. At the end of the video there are advertisements, where related videos used to be. When you go to the youtube homepage, there is an advertisement across the top. Do they really NEED that many advertisements?

I don't hear at any point in this video they discussed how the internet is changing advertising. They just talked about how advertising is making its way onto the internet to reach more consumers in annoying ways.People sought to find freedom on the internet. Freedom from those annoying tv commercials while watching videos, so advertisers stepped in and shit all over video websites like youtube.

Its shifting from a free world to a TV equivalent. I see ads on every major site I go to.

Finally, a video about the internet that looks at it in a positive way that is totally not depressing and doesn't make the internet seem like something that will one day take over the world and destroy us all. I'm impressed.

@darkdestiny0002 Also, remember HOW teenagers are portrayed on film and television. They make them uninteresting, repetitive animals and I am sickened by people who consistently buy into it, or they become it themself. Dumbed down television benefiting who? well stupidity is an easy way to make money. It sells itself.

@darkdestiny0002 Don't hate yourself please. I'm sorry its this way and your trying. Give yourself credit AT LEAST that you know, and your aware and awake at such a young age to all this bullshit around you. That you want change and solutions to come about. I reckon with you, when these dumbasses eat up most Youtube.All you can do is try. This world, is making willing ignorance and go out of their way to ignore the smarter young folks. Keep up the fight, :D
