    Ugh, and to think, I just swapped to uploading my own videos to YouTube... I don't mind the ads down the sides or whatever, but in the video's that's just a waste of bandwidth :(

    You'd think that they were realizing that Youtube is simply not sustainable, costs/profits wise, or something...

    Sounds fairly unobstrusive. They need to make money somehow, and although Youtube isn't my favourite video site atm, I don't have anything against something like that appearing on clips.

    I've dug up some brilliant videos off YouTube of artists you never see on TV like Maria McKee, Adrian Belew and John Hiatt. Anything they need to do to keep this service going, short of charging for it, is fine by me!
