    you’re right, 1) within the confines of capitalism, 2) assuming YouTube is operating like a utility, and 3) not worrying about what they do with their half of the revenue. Really, YouTube should be operated by the state at a loss and as a utility, but yeah, as a market product, it does sorta make sense that they have to charge for it and get really nasty as soon as people don’t wanna pay.
