LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER: youtube reports it annually earns ~14.07 B from ad revenue and over 20B from subscriptions across youtube and youtube music. You are guessing and passing it off as "fact, not opinion". Ads make youtube almost half as much as the ungodly amount of money they make, and google as a whole could support youtube without ads just fine, they would just make less money (Google's throughput is extremely negative, most of their money is not put back into the company).

Your perspective sucks and your opinions are based on misinformation and guesswork.

Imagine using as your argument "no only half of their money comes from ads," lol

Dude a company can't just lose half their revenue. Be serious.

Still isn't the legal definition of theft. It can morally be in your opinion
