Unrelated Videos: Why YouTube VEVO Channels Deliberately Flunk Marketing 101

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

If you listen to music on YouTube, no doubt you’ve heard of the “VEVO” channels used by the major record labels. However, if you listen to non-dance, non-soft-rock, or older music, you probably wonder why VEVO channels’ “Related Videos” are anything but related.

Media 1.0 is just obvious about their propaganda at this point.

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

From Lew Rockwell: This online video game, consisting of hundreds of thousands of players who control every aspect of the game universe, just suffered an enormous economic calamity due to player-controlled bankers engaging in Fractional Reserve Banking.
