The advert itself reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;PSG supporter? The official Channel of PSG is on YouTube. Discover your club&#8217;s videos and news &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nonetheless, there&#8217;s no doubt that this kind of marketing investment, along with <a title=\"YouTube\u2019s new TV Channels confirm its dominance over Dailymotion\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/2012\/10\/08\/youtube-french-channels\/\">YouTube&#8217;s recent announcement<\/a>\u00a0about new TV channels being added in France and other European countries, confirm its expansion across Europe &#8211; I&#8217;m sure the London tube stations will be seeing similar adverts soon, though all I saw when I was there last weekend were adverts for Bordeaux wine.<br \/>\nAt the same time, it&#8217;s hard to tell whether <a title=\"Vevo launches in France, Spain and Italy with 50K new videos\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/2012\/11\/19\/vevo-launches-in-france\/\">Vevo&#8217;s recent launch in France<\/a>, Spain &amp; Itally adding 50K new videos\u00a0is good or bad for YouTube. On the one hand, Vevo&#8217;s success is built on YouTube&#8217;s platform; on the other hand, every platform-dependent tech company eventually tries to get out from under its overlord and spread its wings &#8211; just look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/tag\/Zynga\/\">Zynga<\/a> trying to remove it dependency from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/tag\/Facebook\/\">Facebook<\/a>.<br \/>\nFor now, anyway, it seems that YouTube has secured its place not only as the #1 online video site, but as an all-to-real threat to traditional TV channels.
