The days before YouTube there wasn’t free HD video hosting. We had things like Newgrounds which were way, way worse when it comes to ads and the videos were like 240p.
But it was mostly flash sites back then because video costs a ludicrous amount of money to host, and it was way worse then.
YouTube absolutely will not make money without either ads or fees.
Some governments are doing the right thing by giving people control over their information and how it’s shared online, yes. And that does directly affect YouTube’s profitability.
So now YouTube is being forced to offer users a choice in how they pay. That payment can take the form of cash or private information.
In the days before YouTube we were still working on a unified video player in browsers and internet speeds capable of handling videos. Also, think about how YouTube was before Google bought it. That was them making a modest amount of money to keep the lights on.
You know what has happened since then? Bought by a billion dollar company to make profit. That’s the point
