Youtube ads?
I just got this in my e-mail:

Your YouTube account Archae06 might be eligible to earn revenue from the playbacks of your videos.

Making money from your videos is easy. Here's how it works: First sign into your YouTube account. Then review and complete the steps outlined here: (URL removed)

If your account is enabled, we may place ads next to the videos you submit for monetization. You will earn a share of the revenue from the ads as long as you meet the program requirements.

Thanks and good luck!

The YouTube Team

Is Youtube simply selling out?

1. Selling out? How is making a profit and sharing that with the content owners selling out?

3. I know, especially before the video.
It's just this "sharing" offer has me raising yellow flags.

Not red flags, yet.

5. I got that email too.
I found it amusing because I only have 3 videos up, which I've had there forever, and I never put any others up since. (My friend made and put up the videos for me; I don't know how to do it.)
