The only thing I’m concerned about is that if you post some video, you don’t see some commercial right next to it. You do that with YouTube right now, and we don’t control what ads you see — it could be political content, it could be a Viagra commercial — and don’t get me wrong, maybe the Republican leadership needs a Viagra commercial on their webpage, but I don’t really need one.
