I think the 'P' in NPR is the biggest difference.

In all honesty, I don't see why npr being public changes the story. You neither have to pay for YouTube or npr.

I understand the emotional asentiment that because npr is non-profit, it's somehow more worthy to endure hours of pledges.

Fwiw, I'm near the point where I stop using YouTube as ads get more and more agressive and less relevant. But I have no problems with YouTube trying to maximize their profits.
