You know, this may sound crazy, but if the current Writer’s Guild of America strike may actually be a boon to YouTube.
If the strike lasts much longer, prime time television shows will run out of finished episodes they can air, and where will entertainment starved people turn to? Yes, the Internet. There could be a lot of new traffic coming in to the popular video sharing site if this happens, so why shouldn’t you be there?
We’ve talked numerous times about creating viral videos and putting them on YouTube to advertise your company, so wouldn’t an increase in traffic make it even more worth your time? Even if this doesn’t come to pass, you should have videos out there any way for the normal, everyday traffic the site gets.
While certainly no one wants to profit from misfortune, it is never a good idea to pass up a potential opportunity.
