The benefits are the free online service. You seriously can't say that Youtube doesn't have give us huge benefits, it fill so much of my entertainment nowadays, it give me so much knowledge and all theses peoples that produce theses videos are getting paid to made them. Gmail allowed me to have an email when I was too young to pay for it. MSN and then Facebook allowed me to connect to my friends and make communication so much easier. Ads pay for theses services and not only does it pay for it, it allow people that literally can't pay for it (either by being minor (no access to credit cards) or simply not having the means). That meant that service that depends on a big market to survive can survive.
