    Putting DRM on CC videos is kind of evil… but also kind of expected of a video platform to do.

    In the long run, from a purely economic point of view, it could even make sense for YT to charge users for uploading non-monetized videos. It would destroy even more good faith, but would “make sense” on paper.

      I feel like this goes back to the old saying: If you are not paying for it, then you are not the customer.

      For YouTube, it isn’t so much destroying good faith rather than preventing a competitor from forming with enough traction to threaten YouTube’s business model.
