CNET is reporting today that YouTube will be adding pre-roll and post-roll ads to the videos that users uploads to their site.

Supposedly, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google.com, owner of YouTube.com is not very happy with the returns he is getting on his purchase.

Google purchased YouTube in October 2006 for $1.6 Billion (yes billion) dollars.

Analysis For Digital Media Creators:
If you already have “pre-roll” or “post-roll” ads in your videos, you will have some more now, which means that your viewers may get pissed at you for all the ads before they get to watch the video.
