As long as the content is authentic and high quality it seems like a win for marketers, publishers, and consumers. However, if the videos end up just being straight up commercials that the user has to sit through it's going super annoying. Is Virool vetting the quality of the content? What prevents marketers from just using commercials?
Concerns aside, I love the idea. Organic content distribution is super hard. For every video that goes viral, hundreds of thousands of videos of similar quality flop. Even ad agencies struggle with getting distribution for content, so this seems like a really useful tool that I would have loved to have had when I was working in the interactive agency world.
