    YouTube was built on illegal content and still has a buttload of illegal content and Google knows it but won’t do anything about it. Let’s not call the kettle black.

    If they really want to be serious about it fine, turn it into paid-only access. It will neatly solve the whole ad debacle and they won’t have to play cat and mouse with VPNs and blocking and all these shenanigans.

    Ask yourself why they don’t do that. It’s because 90% of the content on there is illegal and when they host it for free they have an excuse. But if they turn the whole thing private and ask for money to access it they become liable for all of it.
