As I was looking for a Hannah Montana video for Cameron today, I realized that there are lots of commercials on YouTube now such as this one for Buy.com:

This got me to thinking – how many people actually watch these commercials? Are people actually watching these? Or are the companies just uploading to YouTube and then embedding them elsewhere?  I mean at the time I’m writing this, this particular video says it has nearly 400,000 views.  Wow!

As a parent, I thought it was a really cute commercial – I can see this being my daughters – informing me of how they found something on sale and be so proud to only find out that I paid for it.

But I’m still left wondering – do you watch commercials on YouTube?  Am I the only one that finds that slightly odd?
