It was actually really interesting to see how that stuff works. It's my dads video I put it on reddit and the views sky rocketed. Once we started getting viewers fast we realized it was going viral. A few days later we were contacted by a company called Rightster who said they actually manage your video like a PR person (Their claim to fame is that they are the reason Charlie Bit My Finger blew up). They make licensing agreements with news outlets and license it to other websites for you and you have to spilt the revenue they generate with them 50/50. We were getting emails in our inbox from news shows and had this comapny not told us we should ask for money we would have just said sure play it for free..for the exposure alone. My dad figured that he would have had half as much money without their efforts anyway so he did it and they said they'll send a check every few months. First check we got was for $600.

Yes he literally got so excited by all of it he keeps trying to catch my dogs doing something funny but obviously can't. I feel like with viral videos you never know why it happens and most attempts to recreate the thing that got you viral in the first place never get as popular.

Today anyone can request to run ads on their videos channel. So why do you call this a partnernship with Google? This video of my dogs runs ads but I wouldn't consider it AMA worthy or make it seem like anything special.
