Can I has bub briendz?

You know what I'd like to see? Forget about paying video uploaders a cut of ad revenue (as the sole content creators, uploaders should really be getting *more than* 50%, but whatever. It's not like the sort of people who live off of Youtube are in a position to negotiate equitable contracts)

Why doesn't Google pay US to WATCH advertisements? Like, each ad I sit through, I get a penny. The whole point of ads is to get us consumers to watch them, right? Back in the days of network television and no TiVo, this was easy enough to do, you just plopped ads in the middle of our favorite show and that was that. But none of us actually watch ads anymore; we've either got AdBlocker, or we click through after five seconds, or we close the video and watch something else. We have too many ways around advertisements and the middlemen can't stymie them all through counter-technology.

So why not give *us* incentives? I'd be willing to watch all sorts of ads if Google would pay me for it. Shit, it's MY time these ads are wasting, they SHOULD be paying me for it. Then everyone could make money off of Youtube, and we wouldn't need to buy a stupid cat in order to do so!

There's one thing Bub has over Tard/Tardar Sauce/Grumpy Cat. When Tard became famous, its owner/s desperately tried to manage its 'brand', renaming it Tardar Sauce and playing down the 'all-hating' aspect.

But for Bub? All they did was add the Klaus Nomi-esque 'came from outer space to save the human race' aspect. Besides that, Bub Is. Like a perma-kitten Darkseid.

Crap, wasn't meant to be a reply.
