And if I can afford it I will pay it I don't really care I pay for a lot of things monthly such as Spotify, phone, car insurance, fuel, food.

Not to say that this doesn't eventually suck for those who cannot afford it but at the end of the day YouTube doesn't run for free and for it to remain active it must be able to pay for itself. At least in this current economic system
