Flowplayer watermark?

No, it's not just you, it is very annoying. But then again, videos on the Escapist have gotten more and more obnoxious to watch for a while now. First came the ads after or even before the video, then we got that ugly Escapist watermark (yes, I know that the Escapist's Zero Punctuation hosted on www.escapistmagazine.com belongs to the Escapist, YES I KNOW ALREADY), and now this. I guess it's pretty normal for sites to do these kind of things as they get bigger and get more viewers, but it's still annoying as fuck. I hope they at least remove this 'flowplayer' thingie because unlike the other watermark this one even blocks out the text/images!
I can't see any watermark on the one I'm watching now, although I have heard a lot of other people with the same problem as you so I'm assuming it's some new advertisement. I'm just glad I don't watch that many of the videos on here in the first place, the ads are getting out of hand.
I realise they need to make some money, but upping the annoyance and quantity of the adverts as well as introducing a pay scheme for members seems to be taking this a bit too far. Maybe the idea is to annoy us til we pay them or something.
