   So it appears Youtube wanting to get paid for hosting peoples' video content is exploitation now?

   People are so used to getting things for free, they think they're entitled. Reality check time!

   Yeah, yeah, Google is evil, blah blah fucking blah. Sure they could have done it differently, I'm sure random Internet complainers know the business details way better than the YT staff. Obviously.

   So by all means, host it yourself - and pay the bandwidth bills. Meh.

      Newsflash: The business model of the Internet isn't ads.

      It's bait-and-switch.
