>3. Google made nearly $70 billion in Q1; they're not hurting at all, especially their executives.

This is disgusting. Google's executives do an incredible amount of valuable work, easily thousands of times more than other employees, and deserve rich compensation packages. People need to be willing to pay a lot for Premium, or watch more ads, so that these executives can afford bigger yachts.

Why do you hate rich people so much?

Not me, I fully support billionaires in yachts. I think they should all have yachts and spend lots of time with the exuberant aquatic wildlife off the Iberian coast.

I think they should even venture a bit more into the ocean, maybe observe some historical submerged ships from up close.

To be fair, you can't expect YouTube to bleed money just because the parent company is doing well. They're not a charity.
