> Because all this free video is just so great right? A world full of nobodies blathering on about themselves? Just because that doesn't appeal to your taste doesn't mean that it is bad. Stop judging what other people like to watch. You argument is essentially "people who make videos that I don't like should be pushed out".

Before entertainment was so easy to make, there certain bars of quality one had to meet in order to get access to publishing. There is no such metric now, no hurdle of quality or notoriety to jump, and you would argue that nothing has changed? How does taste render the observations of an individual invalid? Are you so genius that you can make such ...judgments... yourself? But I can't judge because I have tastes???

Here's the difference: I'm not judging. I don't believe in a "quality bar". I'm not judging which content should be created, sponsored or paid for. Let people create and publish content, and let people vote with their clicks, eyes and wallets. But you, no, you think that only content that passes your quality bar should be funded. Don't like content or ads? Don't watch/view them. Nobody is forcing you to. But you want to force others not to view them. I hate ads, but they pay for a lot of the content and services I use, and I'd rather view them than pay for them. Don't like them? Don't use those services and content. Your call.
