This aint unexpected stuff . They have their plans and I believe thats why they purchased it.Google has a great staff and they are not dumb !!
yes i totally agree with you but recovering the amount they have bought it for will surely take lot of time.
I have to wonder , considering how large youtube is , how much will be left for the other little adsense user. Seems to me if they did do this their would be no need for us any more would their? Publishers would make even less not that thats all that bad since most publishers don't even make the minimum 100 dollars a day in fact I would say the average publisher for google if they do everything by the book would take 3 or 4 months to get a check , and then even that would be if google faked a few daily clicks here and their for them.
There is no such thing as an unobtrusive ad -- this may be the time for YouTube clones to gain a foothold.
