Paying a business to provide a service you use is not ransom.

"They might raise prices later" is an idiotic reason not to pay for something.

Exactly, if they price it stupidly they'll lose paying customers (I don't buy into the free market ideology)

Can't lose paying customers if they have nowhere to go. Youtube basically own the western audience and they simply can't switch to youtube competitors because there isn't any left. At least japan still has niconico and china has a lot since youtube doesn't operate there.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
