I think they want to be cable. Look at the sheer revenue. $1000/yr for 90 channels of garbage the only gets used 10% of the time can't be beat (that's cheap these days) not to mention ads. They may not recreate that but they want a piece of that. They want to become the home for Cable Programming which requires heavy and unskippable ad placement. I'm fully onboard with the conspiracy theory they are slowly brooming current small time creators to make YT a corporate friendly platform.Nobody said they are exactly like cable but you. I just said if they do this they'll end up like cable: obsolete.
