Imagine that, advertisers are reluctant to place ads on user-generated video clips out of fear the videos could somehow be inappropriate. Say it isn’t so! I guess that could be a good way to keep ads off your videos, just make sure all your YouTube videos are inappropriate. ;)

Many advertisers, for now, are staying away for fear their ads could inadvertently appear with clips that have nudity, foul language or perhaps criticism of their brand.

don't understand why they would shun it...so what about content...sex sells, i mean seriously, sex and violence is what makes up mainstream media...i think its pointless to not want business because of company image... most companies I can think of have an image of cleanliness thats only skin deep anyhow....
 
I'll take good news where I can get it...

I think people understand YouTube culture and the un-related nature of YouTube content with respect to anything around it...

there is no "paradigm" of YouTube ethics to follow or break

what theyre really worried about is #1 Critisizm #2 User responce

Can you imagine what kind of responces all the "scam" commercials on television would produce if people were allowed to respond... just think about the Mac commercials, the Blah Blah Hoodia Blah Blah... the ripoff that is Blue Hippo computers or pseudo-deals on cars for the insane ammount of false advertising they do...

advertisers arent looking for real critisizm and thats what scares them, because they KNOW they deserve more critisizm for ripping people off than anyone else... sometimes even the manufacturer of said "scam" products..
