Whoever puts them there is giving companies free ads anyway, right? I don't like the idea of intro ads because when I put a YouTube video on my own blog I don't want to have to worry about what I-in-turn am now advertising. I personally think they would be better of staying away from video ads all together and stick to more conventional ad revenue options.
