Interesting URL. You don't often see a company refer to their own action as a "price hike".

Probably because those who made that feedback page are the same people within the YouTube team that actually use the service and feel the same as we do.

Looks like the "price hike" text is not on the link now.

Yeah, they were epicly tone-deaf on the Google Maps price hike:

Google Maps rep: Can we book a meeting next week to talk about new features in Google Maps?

Me: ok.

[week goes by]

Google Maps rep: We're excited to announce that Google Maps is 10x more expensive now. Isn't that great?

Me: Wait a minute. How does that help me?

Google Maps rep: Have a nice day!

Me switches to free OpenLayers API by OpenStreetMap.
