Does advertising necessarily mean there being a "middle man"?! I.e.,
does advertising really mean there has to be a "middle man"?
Video markers could develop relations with advertisers themselves.
Picking and choosing who they do and don't want to deal with. And
approving and disapproving what ads they do and don't show.
See ya
