I would never pay for youtube. The idea of youtube was awesome when it started, but that is not what it is now. It's google's youtube now, in fact, Ir's google (and f4i3nds)'s internet now.. It is a capitalist hell. They have an unethical monopoly (not technically, but effectively). They earn money from the creatibe works of others and pretend that they are a benevolent god by giving those creaters a small handout (under strict conditions).

I'd be fine with creaters running their own ads, for which they get all the money. I'd support that and it might even persuade me to buy such products. But it is google that gets the best part of the deal now and I very much disagree with that.
