"We'll stop spitting in your soup if you pay us extra" isn't a nice value proposition

so you want people to freely watch videos without paying anything or watching ads ???

how this works then, creator need to be paid, bandwidth need to be paid, infrastructure is not cheap

it is a nice value proposition, if its not somebody would already make a better alternative that not require those 2 (without paying and without ads)

the fact there is not then its not possible

To stay in the metaphor, wouldn't see some other business model that would allow them to provide the soup to people who order without having to threaten to spit into it ?

lol, there is no spit on it

it is the soup, people free to eat the soup or not

the fact that people always focusing on youtube flaw but never recommend alternative is simply saying that they are the best

That's the hallmark of a monopoly: people can complain about it as much as they want, it won't have any material difference.
