Don't know your point was: >Just be honest and say you think you should be able to enjoy those artists’ work without paying. If we go back to legality then as

  That’s the same point: artists put stuff out where you can see it on the expectation that they’ll get paid. If you don’t want to keep your side of that bargain, you don’t have much standing to complain about being blocked.

    The artists sign a contract with youtube. Non subscribed users don't. The same way promises only apply to those who believe in them, terms of services only applies to people signing a contract for them. If a physical shop decide their terms only allow the customers with a membership card to look at the window from outside but decide to not put curtains, those terms do not apply to bystanders who could see inside. Same when my neighbour is naked with all the lights on. If she doesn't want me to see her, she knows what to do.

      It's like a bookstore that allows anybody to walk in from the street, browse the shelves and read books on a couch, but then says that you're only allowed to do any of this if you also make a purchase or politely listen to one of their employees give me a sales pitch. Well unless they get the cops to arrest me for trespassing, I don't care about their rule. I'll browse their books, read a few, and walk out without buying anything if I please. If they don't like this, they can turn me away at the door. But they don't, they let me and I'm not signing any contracts with them, so fuck their rule.
