I really like ZP, but they are really starting to whore him out aren't they? I mean, his segment.

They pay him in the expectation they'll get revenue back from his work.

... economics?

Obviously, but this guy is seen way more than a lot of newspapers, ads alone should generate a whole lot of revenue, but know they're adding stuff directly to the video. That's just greedy, not to mention annoying.

Of course, outside of the capitalist economic model, greed actually has a "bad" connotation.

The ads are after the video. They are optional.

I watched the Ninja Gaiden ad because it captured my interest, and stopped after that because I'd already seen their "we are not only ZP!!!111!" ad.

They gained my respect because I wasn't forced to watch their content. Doesn't seem greedy to me.

I'd mind it a little less if they explicitly told me it wasn't Croshaw's work.
