Not true, I see commercials on specifically demonetized channels.

Youtube is a tiny tiny part of the internet. They aren't close to being able to monopolize content... not even content delivery.

Start a website... make it www.ihateyoutube.com and put every video you made on there.

Will anyone see it? maybe not. but if they don't go and find it, then part of what you were getting out of the relationship with youtube was cross-pollenization with other similar video providers.

If we were talking about control over the internet itself, we might be having a different discussion (and may even be on different sides)... for instance, I start to look at things like net neutrality as a potential infringement on content. In that case, the service provider a customer uses to access the open internet, is able to influence what content the subscriber can access... through speed throttling. If there is only one internet service provider, then you have a problem.

But this is literally the same as cbid controlling the content on their pic post page. And maybe if they started paying us for reviews....
