In case you wanted to watch the source video without the completely necessary add on information via on screen text...

or you have issues with a site that takes from youtube and puts their fingerprint on it to then call it their own for the purpose of bringing in additional traffic for ad revenue.

For three more sentences, click here.

At least they are crediting the source now. How does this work? Are they generating revenue by YouTube views, too?

its always views, more views means you can charge more for ad space. Sploid feels like an experiment on the maximum ROI of this concept.

I meant on YouTube. Do they a piece of that ad revenue?

oh, yeah. If they are in the youtube ad share program they get something like 80 cents of advertisers dollars for ads that play on their videos.

This is exactly why I don’t visit that site. It seems to be a trying to see how much money they can make with the least effort. It’s the Buzzfeed model taken to the extreme.

Which makes this post particularly ironic.

Haha, i think he got it. Is that guy still running the site? I’m quite happy not having seen his name and writing for a while now.

I think he’s now 100% responsible for the Sploid YouTube videos.

What is that called? If that is a Russian model, It looks like it was designed by laying a piece of tracing paper over B1B blueprints.

Wait, do they make their own now or do you just mean all the rehashed stuff?

All I have seen on their YouTube channel is preexisting cool, awesome cool fascinating footage with a little editing, and an added text and a watermark.

It all reminds me of a high-school video presentation.
