YouTube fills the role of the scapegoat. Creators are never blamed for choosing the path that pays them the most. Artists playing at venues that use Ticketmaster is a similar situation. Sure, some of these artists can _choose_ not to perform at these venues, just like the YouTube creators can _choose_ not to upload videos to YouTube. Scapegoat as a service.
