After watching, I think that there is one fundamental period that you slightly missed in Internet history, and I think we are more destined to return to it.
Before YouTube and Facebook became kings, we had small sites with dedicated a user base and they marketed directly. You actually employ some of that mojo with your in roll ads. Those used to be very valuable. Google and Facebook fudged the numbers to get creators to move onto their playground.

Now we are in a state where that fudging is poisoning the well. I've signed up for a few things that you advertised because it's relevant. Creators that sell ad spaces like that are actually going to get conversations & the money will move from the auto-generated/auto-play ads that are the current norm, to real ads directed at people who want to hear them.
TWiT, Machinima, even New Grounds all had sales departments but lost money when they marginalized them for Google AdWords.
