Frequent viewers of Youtube videos: is it just ME or are you seeing this too?
When I view a video, particularly one having to do with religion or evolution, or scientific concepts somewhat related to religious concepts, psychology, etc. I see a "PROMOTED VIDEO" at the top of the list on the far right...

3 times out of 4, that PROMOTED VIDEO at the top of the list is "and I'm a Mormon" or a similar title, having to do with
Mormonism, a personal testimony type video.

Does anyone else see this recently? Like in the last few weeks? Or am I on some special promotional list Youtube has linked me to? Just curious, but if other's see this, maybe there's something going on here...would Romney be behind this???

1. Yeah, I've seen that "I'm a Mormon" thing when watching any number of vids, NONE of
them having to do with religion. I just figured the Mormons are trying to increase their membership and are buying prime space on Youtube.

2. With two Mormons running
The Mormons have really cranked up the propaganda machine. Those videos are just one piece of it. They certainly have the money for it.

3. I'm pretty sure they pay to have those videos up there.
Kind of like the Scientology ad spam, and stuff like that.
