    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.

      The only state I’d trust to run YouTube would be North Korea

        Every video will be required to have kim jong il. Also, it will be forbidden to have kim jong il in your video

      in agreement with you, except under communism there will be no need for youtube (as it would be nothing but a giant money and technologyhole), as we'll just have communal television, communal cinemas, communal theaters and communal video stores instead.
