Hey man hope this is not going to discourage you but the majority of companies big and small ie. Motorola, pre-launch projects via established sites already like Youtube under alias user names for viral impact, the traffic is already built and trusted for this and they test the market free. Your big advertisers are going to have to see your traffic and how it competes against youtube and sites that are a fraction of their size. Given it's a good idea it's just a few years late, if you are going to do niche CPM/CPA then you still have a chance
These companies aren't advertising on youtube, this isn't a appliance I just used "widget" as a metaphor. The companies advertise on the niche sites, there just aren't any niche video sites to cater to the users of the widgets.

It's the same idea as someone producing a radio show in adult. The people that listen to it are adult webmasters. So adult programs advertise on the radio show but they arent going to advertise on youtube. It's about the targeted traffic.
