It's not typical for them to do so, as this is a "losing" space - very hard to get to the point whereby an exit is viable. It is after all yet another - yes, yet another ad platform. big bet, and I think this one is going to be a big loser. let's all hope I am wrong... Spark capital invested in this??

I'm not sure how successful they'd be. I was watching some of the videos and I was so hooked on the videos that i didn't even pay attention to the ads on the videos. I especially like the one where all those boys were kicking the ball around using a lot of acrobatic moves. That was pretty cool. Anyway, that's just my half a cent.
