Which makes total sense given that video hosting is insanely expensive, especially at the scale at which YT is operating. I forget the exact number, but I heard that over half of the global internet bandwidth is used for video streaming from just a handful of websites.

That said though, I still choose Ublock Origin.

    What if half of our ISP bill went to subsidy websites based solely on how many megabytes/GBs you're using towards or from a certain source.

    I get the idea, but it seems hardly reasonable to pay companies for the bandwidth they use. Wouldn't that incentivize wasting bandwidth?
