If CDNs are so cheap, why is YouTube insistent that they should get paid for their bandwidth? I already pay for my bandwidth and am quite happy to use it for something like YouTube. The real reason is centralised architecture gives them control and ability to extract rent. | ||

> why is YouTube insistent that they should get paid for their bandwidth? What are you talking about? YouTube has a lot more costs than bandwidth. And a lot of ads and Premium revenue goes to creators. | ||
