Every time this subject comes up, the comments are filled with people who feel entitled to watch YouTube for free (not willing to pay in attention or in hard currency). "If you don't watch to pay for it or watch ads, don't use the service" just gets ignored, and people post ridiculous replies like "lol I just block all ads" . . . it's as if YouTube is as necessary to their survival as water.
It's also great because it demonstrates how full of BS many of the "if I had a choice to pay for the <ad-supported thing> I would" crowd are . . . not all, of course, but I bet there's a sizeable intersection between the two categories.
