That’s the kind of comparison YouTube hopes you do.

Compared to patronage systems, it’s a pittance. You may as well try to pay your favourite shows directly then give your money to Google and have them redistribute it on your behalf.

Google is providing a service here. I think people have gotten so used to the internet they forget the massive costs involved in running a website like YouTube.

The cable companies wish to convey the same.
