I don't think that the video alone causes them to be sellouts, it's the fact that they have become complete puppets for the record company. I don't even have a problem w/ them becoming popular, it's the method they used to do it. They did abandon their fans. They alienated the fans that had been with them by putting out cookie cutter type songs and aiming their music at the general public. The video was just the first major sign that they were caving into the corporate interests. Now they are fighting for the very things that they used to fight against. That to me sounds like a band that has sold out.
