News Corp/NBC today unveiled plans to launch a Youtube rival, and the Zango adware pushers are jumping in to offer their expertise on how to milk your users at all costs.
The television and movie conglomerate has figured out that it can make more money by offering online video itself, than if it allows random users to post their content on Youtube.
It all goes to Youtube's walled garden model that requires users to upload content to their servers, and only allows them to search within the Youtube property. After Viacom's flat-out refusal to give in to Google/Youtube's market dominance, News Corp/NBC's move will only further increase the need for a genuine video search engine.
