  But that wasn't a sustainable business model so it doesn't make sense to expect that.

    But amazingly YouTube's entire existence is based on (mostly) free to them user generated content. Imagine running a company where almost the entire product line is given to the company free.

  It still does in non-mobile browser tabs—and my iPad Safari can be set to non-mobile user agent (or whatever, it’s in the settings). So I can listen to YouTube and browse the internet, including HN, on iPad and desktop. I use most services through their web interface, because I’d rather not use their apps. Though many services such as Instagram stopped making that possible so those I have no choice.
