Eh, the whole point of a decentralized video service is no ads needed. I think with services where the users are hosting the video it should be up to the creators to find their own sponsors, even if they sign up to a services that somehow inserts advertisements into their videos that is from outside of the service. The whole problem with the adpocalypse on youtube is the ads are too generic and both the advertisers and the creators don't have enough say in what is happening. With TV the companies know what programs their ads are put along side but with on demand they have no such insurance. What Google is doing is trying to apply an old system to a new system and expects it to work seamlessly which it will never get to work. If they keep on this course they'll just need to get rid of independent creators and only allow select companies along with a few creators to be allowed post videos. I really think the service that will replace youtube will be 100% decentralized and once it gains a little bit of traction companies like the Dollar Shave Club and VPN services will seek out creators on these platforms and sponsor them directly like they do right now on youtube. If Ford wants to advertise on a decentralized video service they need to get in touch with the creators directly. This would be 100% fair, sure, whoever Ford is sponsoring is making bank but the little guy that has a small VPN sponsor won't be pushed out by the video service allowing the Ford sponsoree on it's trending page but not the creator sponsored by the VPN service. Both creators get paid for better content on an equal playing field. Better creators will get better sponsors and such.
