This would be fair if Google hadn't altered the deal only after creating the circular "People only upload to YouTube" / "All the viewers are on YouTube"

YouTube would not be effectively the only game in town if Google hadn't underpriced their product to drive out competitors

In short: If Google had played fair from the beginning, I would have the option to watch streaming semi-pro video elsewhere.
