Well then what's happening now, the economic pressure from advertisers, needs to keep up until they do.

Some of the pressure is opportunistic tho. No cooincidence that AT&T and Verizon quickly jumped into the fray.

So
@TheTimes aka NewsCorp have no interest in this either... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/media/11868994/News-Corp-completes-114m-acquisition-of-Tech-City-darling-Unruly.html … None. At. All.

Ppl who want to post neo-nazi propaganda vids can pay for their own servers/bw to serve it. YT doesn't have to.

Extremists earn $7 per 1000 views so complex attention economics here, audiences priced-in bc they're valuable.

But no brands would want to advertise on their private sites.

The only reasons brands advertise on their vids on YT is that it's hard/impossible to opt-out per-channel.
