Did YouTube make all of those videos? If not, then how much should YouTube get from hosting them? This whole argument that people just want free shit isn't just wrong, it's also annoying. People have proven time and again that we're willing to pay for quality and convenience. And not in that order. Once again it's an issue about access, how they're fighting tooth and nail to gatekeep that access to continue to control the flow of capital so they can also play the kingmakers in digital media. Messages like yours are so off base that it's hard to believe you're not projecting your own shitty world view, but also somehow think that because you'll gargle some shitty ads every once in a while that you have some moral high ground. AKA; one of those people who believe they're right and that's all that matters and you don't actually have to think any deeper. PS: I hope I'm wrong. Please feel free to correct my own world view if I am.

I'm not experienced with RPN but at a glance think there's a solid argument for it.
Base 16 is superior and once you learn binary math, easier to divide and multiply.
Good counter-point, except that your local supermarket has to respect three separate market pressures that Google (edit: to be clear, I mean YouTube) clearly has no regard for:
So no, I don't feel that we should 'fuck them, too I guess' because when I go to the supermarket I feel like I'm the customer, not the product. I feel that I get what I'm paying for and that my time is respected. Nothing about YouTube leaves me feeling like that. There's no sense that I'm a respected customer and therein no sense that there's any value in trying to respect a clearly one-sided relationship.
