We want to go back to the “free as in beer” Internet model, but the underlying economics of what allowed that to happen is gone.

Well, too bad. I myself don’t use YT a lot (as in: almost never) and frankly I’ll avoid clicking on YT links, if written alternatives are available (and often even in they are). Maybe it’s just a generational thing (I’m oldish)

I think we are a naturally self selecting crowd here.
