I can understand some of the criticisms in this thread (and from a user experience point of view they're pretty valid), but I think using TweetPerView on your videos is more like saying "this video isn't free, but instead of paying money to watch it, you're paying a tweet's worth of social capital to watch it".

I mean, ignoring the fact that the video is on YouTube and all.

Exactly, perhaps I need to work on getting that point across. Think of it as an alternative to micropayments.

Also, the idea is that if the video creator wants to make it exclusively available as a TweetPerView, they should mark the video as 'private' so it won't show on YouTube.com and make it available to be embedded.
