Looks good to me. If all sponsorship & advertising was as unobtrusive as your new model appears to be, I would be an extremely happy man with less to rant about.
So no, I cant find anything to criticise in the model. So long as its enough to actually get sponsors, it seems like a good balancing act, and a model for others to follow. Obviously there are the usual problems with how far down the tail sponsors will be prepared to tread, so who knows how many people could use this model to bring in some revenue, but in terms of unobtrusiveness I think its a winner. Its about the only form of advert I personally will tolerate as a viewer, I cant be the only one, so savvy vlogs, sponsors & services/sites would do well to stick to this sort of post-roll stuff. Mind you I suppose the subtle wreck&salvage stuff was at the start and that didnt bother me either. So maybe its the audio thang that is of key importance, keep the sound unobtrusive and you wont try the viewers patience so much is the lesson here? Compare and contrast with the hideous walmart advert pre-rolls I get when going to watch vids on the likes of CBS news. Or even with your own coverage of your sponsorship stuff on todays rocketboom. It only annoys me when I can hear it! Hoorah, why didnt I realise this sooner, Im sure Ive muted TV adverts in the past and it works wonders.
