Frequent WillVideoForFood contributor Mark Day landed a prominent feature on the homepage of AOL Uncut. This is the first time I’ve seen such a significant “carve out” for an amateur creator. Congrats, Mark. The comedy or bribes are paying off.
If you haven’t seen Mark’s work, it’s well worth it.
Color me as surprised as the next person. They were rotating different “front page” content boxes and i was pleasantly surprised when this showed up one day last week. I was more surprised when it wasn’t rotate out the next day, and when it finally dissapeared (when the baseball guy flew into the building) I was very surprised when it came back a few days later. Aside from my obviously charming accent and incisive social commentary (ahem) I think it speaks to the value of thematic continuity between clips, bright yellow thumbnails and the much repeated maxim (at least around here) that it’s a lot easier to get spotted away from YouTube than on it.
p.s. I’ve since been ousted by pet videos. And at the end of the day, no one wins in a fight with pet videos…
