You do realise you're comparing a company that makes its money from advertising on top of an otherwise video sharing platform, with a company you pay a fixed monthly fee to access the internet, right?

I know you meant YouTube, but that describes Comcast cable TV service as well. YouTube is a competitor. Should Comcast be forced to deliver a competitor's content?

Some parts of the internet. You don't get the "whole" internet. You've had limited internet and fast/slow lanes for decades.
