    I think a lot of people feel that youtube is getting to eat all of the cake and is only offering crackers in return.

    I think people accept that services need to advertise to survive, but become upset when that level of advertisemeant becomes excessive.

      Services are funded by advertisers. Advertisers are funded by their customers, the general public, after charging more for their products to fund advertisement. This is a symptom of the commodification of the collective consciousness. Absolutely disgusting.
