Re: Pbbt said by baineschile:Yay! I want to look at a 15 second advertisement whenever i open up mozilla! Yay! I want to listen to a 30 second had before I can make a call from my cell phone. Yay! I want to look at a commercial BEFORE i can turn my TV on! Rant much? How many times have you seen an ad just for opening Chrome or Firefox? That is NOT going to change.
Wait, wait, wait.... let me restate that last sentence:
That is NOT going to change!
Loud enough for ya?
Sure they will have rights to putting all the ads they want on YouTube, but stop buttering up something that will not be an apocalypse!
said by baineschile:Good in theory, but Google exists in a capitalistic economy...they are out for the dollar. Trading money for my free time isnt worth it, at least to me. But it is in their interests, stop thinking so 1 dimensionally... and so negatively!
It is good in theory because with competing standards it will push for more innovation. But mostly it will provide a video codec that all browsers can support (in addition to some supporting H.264). But as long as all browsers support VP8 Google is free to rack up all the advertising revenue they want because they know it will work in ALL, not SOME, browsers.
You think their ad revenue on YouTube would continue to gain if Firefox, the second most used browser out there, suddenly could not play YouTube videos?
