This is not good news for Podcasters with ads. Will anyone here be affected by this change to the TOS for youtube. I know TWIT, GFQ and others have been using youtube for hosting for a while now. Does this mean you have to stop posting your videos


YouTube is clamping down on video creators who work directly with brands, nudging them instead to rely on Google’s sales team for deals.

YouTube has quietly amended its ad policies to block “graphical title cards” from sponsors aiming to promote their brands and products on YouTube channels, according to a revised FAQ document in YouTube’s help and support section. Video overlays of sponsor logos and product branding are no longer allowed — unless the sponsor pays Google to advertise on that channel.

A YouTube representative called this revision a clarification of its existing policy, one that occurred late last year, intended to prevent advertiser conflicts and ensure viewers don’t feel bombarded by ads. Paul Kontonis, executive director of the Global Online Video Association, however framed it as an explicit change that prevents YouTube stars and multichannel networks from working prominent sponsor logos and images into their videos without handing Google a cut of the revenue.
