Pocket is not monetized. The sponsored tiles happened to be, but the symptoms are not related to greed... which arguably is even scarier.

Well, apparently there is a "revenue sharing agreement" with regards to Pocket, despite the previous statements that Pocket didn't pay for the integration.

Pocket didn't pay for the integration, period. Now, whether there's money flowing as a result of the integration is an interesting question. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10681622
