There has been speculation in the past as to when Ustream.tv would change their business model. Well today, I witnessed the first paid advertisements on the live stream of nuke1.net.
At the time, I brought it to the stream owner, Nuke’s attention and he immediately expressed disapproval. The ad itself is not too obtrusive, but it is there, nonetheless. It displays for approximately 10 seconds before it retreats to a small red tab on the right side of the live stream.
The advertisement is similar to what youtube.com has recently migrated to. I do not know how they ustream.tv) is going to target advertisers dollars to viewers or if Ustream.tv even has a way to keep feminine ads from being displayed on a masculine stream and vice-versa.
I wonder how long time ustreamers are going to react to the change, especially like the founders, Chris Pirillo?
