    They’d have more paying subscribers if they didn’t charge more than Netflix for what amounts to user-generated content that they’re getting for free.

      They’re not getting it for free. They pay video creators. And they know that the more they can pay them, the more and better content they will get.

      And with any product pricing, there is always a balance between charging less to get more customers, or charging more to get more money per customer.

      I’m pretty sure YouTube knows more about how to price their service than any of us.
