But read the article in full and you will see that 1) they ain’t makin’ no money the way things are (15 million last year) and 2) advertisers will be “larger” (cost will be per view, not per click) and 3) video producers like me can “opt-out” and finally 4) if I “opt-in I can make some money and still decline selected ads (like competitor ads)

Google… you guys have done it again – you rock.
