Next week, the YouTube video site should introduce the long-awaited and discussed option to enrich its users. This was reported by the online publication Variety with reference to Howard Lindzon - the founder of Wallstrip, which publishes its videos on the most famous video site in the world.
It is assumed that when a clip is uploaded, users will be prompted to embed a commercial in it. Profit from viewing the resulting plot will be divided in half between the site and the author of the video.
