When the grandfather of YouTupe personalities, Geriatric 1927, posted a
video dismissing the “scantily clad ladies” proliferating on the
new video sharing site, LiveVideo.com, I thought he meant it when he
said, “I won’t be going there.”
But as LiveVideo began offering YouTubers who had a significant number of
subscribers financial incentives to post on LiveVideo, Geriatric 1927
suddenly changed his mind with no explaination.
LiveVideo seems to be approaching the phenomena of video sharing as an
opportunity for product placement, stealth marketing campaigns,
and old fashion pay per post payola. The site appears to be a rip off of YouTube in every way except for the low
numbers of people posting there and the relaxed restrictions on
soft-core porn.
