MICROSOFT BEING EVIL? BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!



Something wrong with this?? Companies pay people to endorse their products all the time and YT is huge these days, especially in the kid to teen market. If anything this is the smartest advertisement move they have made



No issue with this as long as it says paid advertisement in the video.



It doesnt surprise me. I came to expect such underhanded moves from Microsoft.

Ok, so where´s my check?



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I don't think there is anything morally wrong with it. It's just pathetic that MS would need to pay for viral marketing when the communities usually should do it for free.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

What's wrong with that? Its good advertising for them. Its only $3 per 1000 views. Which means they will pay some $3000 for 1 million views. That's way cheaper than advertising on television which we all know MS has been doing a lot for the X1.

It isn't exclusive to MS. Why single them out?

Edit; it's called marketing 101.



How is that an all time low? They aren't forcing anyone... I think its a good marketing play and companies with that much money has every right to
