xavier, I'm really, really sorry for pulling your hair in the playground all those years, ago...are we forgiven?
Our methodology is simply to buy media, on a pay-for-performance basis, from sites that we believe will have appropriate audiences for the content that we've been paid to distribute. We're not interested in gaming YouTube. If we were, we'd just buy in cheap traffic from China...we wouldn't go the effort of hunting out e.g. high quality US tech bloggers for a US tech campaign.
We pay you to run the content. We let you say whatever you like about it (if anything). Really. No strings. No ditctating ;)
All we've been asking, really, really politely, is that you remove references to the rate at which we're buying media off you. This is standard practice across most media sales across most media channels, online and off. Major advertisers would have a problem if NBC or Fox started displaying the cost of the 30 second spot next to the ad. The prices are negotiated and typically confidential, and that confidentiality is written into the contract between the buyer and the seller...
I'm sorry if you feel hassled or bugged! If you do have any other issues you want to raise, please give me a call direct. We work with a lot of great publishers, we really value the relationships, and are hungry for feedback, to so do give us a shout.

Sorry I've been playing with the name of your company. I shouldn't have (I can delete this post too).
It's just funny when I'm told "just grab the code, embed it in a post, and you're on", and receive an email a few days later that says I can't do what I was just told to do. Here's a good example of when I should have said random stupid stuff around the video instead of the plain truth.
Honestly, it is just good casual blogging content. Guarantee I'll stop talking mean about Unruly (and you have a few credits to talk sh** about HyveUp).
Nice to meet you Scott (I love the viralvideochart btw), definitely hope to meet u someday.
