The more successful your video becomes on YouTube the less likely you are to benefit. Spammers have learned to watch for high traffic clips and then hammer these with links and promotions spamming anyone wanting to view comments pertaining to the clip itself.
This defeats the social aspect of video viewing and should certainly be a concern should you wish to share the link with friends
Forwarding or posting a link to a popular video just increases the reach of the spammers. In otherwords it is self defeating
This will ultimately lead to reduced interest in the viral aspect of YouTube thus chocking on it's own success
The good news is that YouTube has trained the masses as to the effectiveness and interest in online video. Becoming your own Internet Broadcast media company is more beneficial than trying to gain attention via YouTube. Online producers of Internet Broadcasts can control their own views and traffic by embracing new technology that puts publishing and distribution into their hands. The tide is turning and it is very positive for all those looking to be the antithesis of YouTube, Myspace and other similar social video sites and apps.
