Ah. Well...for me personally, I wouldnt run a video commercial. My solution was an attempt to avoid the commercials "in video".
While I am not opposed to ads on a website, my wish is to not interfere with the viewers experience of watching my/the content. I may or may not include an ad below my videos in a pop-up window. Still thinking about it. Would the small amount of revenue gained from that be worth it? Maybe. However if viewers dont watch my videos because of it, then I would certainly remove the ads. For Rocketboom, with the multitudes of viewers they have, an experiment like this may not be so harmful to lose a few viewers here and there. For someone like me with a small amount of visitors, losing a any amount of people watching would make a difference.
