    “Should be free” ? You think only 4k videos cost them money? Bandwidth and storage for lower res is free? How naive jesus

      Lol yes because people are already developing third party apps with those same features for free, ya duncecap.

      Also if Youtube made their site “pay to access” we’d watch it die within the month.

        Nice logic, movies can also be downloaded for free via “third party”, does that mean studios should make them free because of that?

          Can’t download a movie theater which is where most of their money comes from. Streaming services definitely lose a lot of money and the only reason they can stay alive is in-house ‘recommendations’, high resolution/bandwidth streams, and compatibility with mobile devices. If third party sites/apps figure those three things out, will probably be tough to compete with.
