Another reason Obama’s YouTube ads were highly successful is because it demonstrated to the people the power they held, increasing individual and collective agency.

For instance, Obama’s most famous ad released on YouTube called “The Choice” opens with the line “Over the next four months you have a choice to make.” . Through this specific ad, Obama is calling each individual to make “ a choice” and releasing it through YouTube makes all the more personal.
