YouTube's new terms of service

Yep, the free economy is coming home to roost. Google can not keep buying hard drives till the end of time. Free to use also means no obligation to let use. I have noticed Facebook doing the same thing. If you have a period of inactivity your page will be mothballed. The shareholders always want their piece of the pie and the free ride is coming not to an end, but going in a different direction.
 
YouTube will be facing stiff competition from other streamers for its professionally created content and, some niche picking from the smaller independents. IOW, if someone had decided to create an ad-supported site full of cat videos, car/smartphone reviews, film trainers, et cetera, et cetera while paying its content creators at a much higher rate than YouTube, YT's current business model would be severely tested. And it's a money loser as it is.
 
That is why I cross post my videos on YouTube and Vimeo. Although my Vimeo account is a paid subscription. I expect at some point Vimeo will drop the free service.
