As an alternative, would you pay 1cent per video you watch?
Apparently, there are 4 billion youtube videos watched per day. That's $14 billion in revenue annually.
Apparently, their current revenue is estimated in gthe $3.5 billion range.
i say 1 cent per video, and bill me monthly. Or 1 cent/minute of video.
If you're a creator, you get a discount (to keep people creating), or your friends can watch for free, or something like that so that only the viral videos are charging $$.

I'm calling it.... This is the beginning of the end for YouTube (LOL)... Probably not, but it is proof that they are willing to do what many people consider "evil" to please their stockholders.

Just an idea.
