YouTube Overlay Ads Popping Up More Often

Beet.tv just reported they've been spotting those video overlay ads a lot more often on YouTube.

When YouTube first blogged about this back in August, they didn't mention anything about revenue share with the creators of the videos, ala AdSense, however. And advertising is currently limited to a select group of Google partners, so there doesn't appear to be anyway for the little guy to get in on this, at least not yet.
