YouTube "Secret" Operation

Tuesday and Wednesday. My physical condition is probably beginning to deteriorate again - I'm not exercising or running, I sleep in the afternoons, I eat very little... and I spend days on YouTube! But this time, I wasn't just watching - I was participating with videos of my own, all done under cloak of secrecy, trying to distance myself from the abomination that I was about to create... I'm counting on unpopularity of this blog to make shure that the word doesn't get out before things cool down a bit (in a few days).
It all started with renetto's Wednesday video that advices and in a way urges YouTubers to join him in registering notable usernames that could one day be sold for a lot of money. So, I took this challenge (that is really a creative game) seriously and devised a master plan...
I searched for and registered about 36 names with help of google and wikipedia, customized their profiles to give them a more real look and created a supervisor profile with a superior name to watch over the flock: UsernameOverlord.  I then linked them all together through subscriptions and brought the operation to the next phase: video making!

Using VideoStudio10's functions currently known to me I created a 1-minute video, made out of text and a dope song "Die Motherfucker Die" (those lyrics are not actually heard in the video), bragging at my success. Even though I'm a beginner I managed to do it quite well, uploaded it as a response to renetto's video and moved to the final phase...
More videos! This time for advertising purposes only, using a pictured I modified with Photoshop, some text and the chorus of Abba's Money Money Money - I used this as a template to make about 30 videos, each for one username. I saved and uploaded each to a corresponding account as a video response to renetto and then favorited each one with UsernameOverlord's profile.
 
The bad side of this phase is that it was very time-consuming: I had to confirm my email on each account separately before being able to upload (uploading itself took a few seconds), and I had to wait several minutes before YouTube servers managed to process my email confirmation request. But after a few hours I finally had them all lined up, each one with its own video and customized profile, ready for potential buyers. I hope to get the investment returned some day, at least for the non-trademarked usernames!
There are also two things I suspect to be YouTube bugs... Number one: some of the videos' got the last second just cut out and have far worse quality than others. And number two: I have no idea why didnt the YouTube video clip preview maker set the picture below (which was in the middle of every video)  as the video thumbnail... and instead  put a black thumbnail there... YouTube really needs a bug exterminator.
