Very interesting inside view there. Thank you! I think I have a different issue with monetization than many other people on this group. The more distribution I can give with a video, the more customers I bring in. So distribution is key for me. That's why I love to use TubeMogul, etc. I don't double-upload (TubeMogul and Hey!Spread have some of the same site destinations) but I do put my videos out there to a huge audience. This is the first time I've heard any feedback about any problems with that, so I appreciate the information.
As far as SPAM video goes, it was only a matter of time. I see regular commercials up on different sites. I'm okay with it as long as they are clear that it is a commercial. Some sites actually have "commercial" as a category. VidPow distributes to 30 sites for us and we pay them $99 for the year. I signed up for it to check it out and see what it was like. They're doing the same thing I'm doing, but on a different profile. Not sure that it's worth it to do that. At least our own distribution team is very specific about where our videos go and our brand is protected. But I think there will be more and more of these type of companies. If there are other problems with multiple uploads I'd really like to know more about that. Thanks!
