the next generation of spam - youtube
 

any medium that they can spam their crap they do :disgust

you found that in the comment box?

welcome to the internet

if so...who reads that anyways? :\

What business are you in again?http://pissyourself.com/smilies/qqb006.gif

nope comment to me/my youtube account

there is a difference between plugging your site and spamming it all over the place :2 cents:

coming from someone who didn't know what 'fusker' was :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Thats actually interesting, people are finding things that are growing. Myspace.. nothing but shit

You tube needs to step up now before it ends up shit faced..

Whats your problem George, you have had it in for me for a long time, did i piss you of somewhere

nothing springs to mind Batts - my reply was in the same tone as yours -

also I honestly can't think of anything i've done or said to you that is worthy of mention?

agreed - nip it in the bud before it gets stampeded with spamming dickwads

intresting George, very intresting.

obviously anything with traffic will become the target of spammers.

the guys behind youtube are tech geniuses. (check out their blog, some amazing stuff there)

whether they understand the social/business consequences to becoming a den for spam is another thing.. it can definitely kill a site quickly.

i've thought about the idea of marketing some of my mainstream sites through viral videos.. it definitely works. but if youtube degrades into a giant paid programming thing, it could kill them quickly. there are plenty of youtube/break.com/etc's out there.

I've been using youtube for a while now, uploading videos that arewatermarked (as you mentioned) and it's worked quite well. The comments up until now have been 100% real and no spamming crap.

Hopefully this type of thing gets quickly ushered towards teh door. Obviously it would be nigh on impossible to get rid of all spam but if it could be quashed as much as possible then that'd be great...

interesting.. do you mind if i ask what type of stuff you've been promoting? you can be vague..

I'm a bit of a rev head so it's mainly auto related / personal stuff. I've found it a great way to host video files that I want to *share* :thumbsup
