Not everything that asks something of users is bad for users. I think it's an awesome idea.

  It's not asking something of a user, it's forcing them. If this was optional it would be asking. I think it would be great if it was optional and showed at the end of the video, why would you tweet about a video you've not yet seen?

    Forcing users to do something isn't always necessarily a bad thing. It depends on the use case. In general, no, I wouldn't want to tweet about a video before seeing it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a use inside of something larger.

      I can't ever see a use case where it is OK to force a user to syndicate your content before viewing it. It trying to force virality -- and after a while users will stop watching videos, negating the effect if not harming the content in the long run. Think "Expert's Exchange"

      Every time anything tries to make me like it, it has turned out to be a hoax (discovered by googling the thing not by liking it I might add).

    Well nobody's forcing you to use his service to force users. So it's still all good!
