Don't count on it. Video advertising is growing and growing fast. I give it at most 24 months before you see ads pre-rolling video clips on every major tube site. You already see it frequently on YouTube. I get fucking Flo from progressive insurance pre-rolling constantly on YT lately.

This is the way things are moving, and you have to pay attention to where the trends are leading. The internet is slowly becoming the new television, and a home's computer is turning from just a simple PC to an all around household media center. Mark my word, we are not far from the point where your internet connection will serve as your television feeds, your phone, video chat, and internet. All media and communications will be funneled through one service on one machine. We're already working our ways towards that. Your entire living space will wirelessly network with itself. Mobile devices, appliances, you name it.

As the numbers continue to grow for people watching online video, it only makes sense that you take television style commercials and begin running them on online video...
