I just want to say that that poll is REALLY biased.

we have two options:
1. slippery slope
2. the manipulation is fine

how LOADED is the word "manipulation." Where is the option that says "I do not think the practice is manipulative at all." ?

frankly, I think the inclusion of the still frame was far from manipulative. Its very common for youtube users to do this in order to have a more representative video preview. The end result is a More Polished, Professional video. not only that, Daniel specifically pointed out what he had done; it was not a secret.

it is unfair to compare this practice to secretly splicing in pornographic images to increase views because doing something like that is obviously NOT professional. They are two very different things and should not be lumped together.

I think the Original Poster overreacted. and that's my opinion.

Plus, the Creators aren't all about just a "creative outlet" just to "express themselves". It's about money, fame, fortune and I'd be the same way. Use what sells. I've seen a million ways to sell something that are FAR more deceiving than this.

Note: I don't think it's deceiving BTW.

I watch all the videos via Revver anyway.
I understand that it is important to pay homage to YouTube and LG15's early beginnings there... so I can see why many of you are so upset.
But all the same, they are trying to create a series here. And that takes money, and they don't profit from YouTube. Revver = Money = The Series Continuing.

By watching Revver rather than YouTube you are only supporting the series and its continuation. Realistically I think that this is the Creators attempt to make more people visit LG15.com and watch Revver vids.

I think that perhaps a little more obvious way of doing this is to create bigger links, etc to the site.

Personally, I think it's just business. I don't see why people are getting so fed up over it. The image spliced in was not obscene or offensive. Nor was it crucial to the plot. So what's the big deal?

Has anyone actually addressed the idea of WHEN this edit occurs?

1 minute and 26 seconds into the vid.

1-26 is also a date in the not too distant future.

I don't know what Daniel could know about this date, or why he'd want to clue us in. But then again, Bree did hint at the date of the "ceremony" before she outright told us, and Tachyon contacted Daniel once, I guess she could have again, with more information.

Aaaaand...

since YouTube shows the time and Revver does not, this could explain the inconsistency.

Eli (and anyone else)

I humbly direct you to the thread http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=133056#133056 for my comments posted there lest I perpetuate an off topic discussion.
