Video hosting costs a lot of money. I wouldn't expect that to be delivered for free

Well then make Premium a reasonable price.

And just don't provide stuff for free. Nobody forces alphabet to provide youtube without account and for free.

It was a money sink since Google created it

They don't provide stuff for free, they provide stuff in exchange for your data and to sell ads.

They had a good thing going. YouTube was far from unprofitable. But the skyrocketing density and plummeting quality of ads drove people to adblockers.

I suspect though, the day will soon come when ad-space is no longer quite so valuable.

It was fine until "the adpocalypse", when advertisers pulled their ads because they were being shown with offensive videos.

While YouTube has been trying to fix the problem the quality of the ads has reduced. So many advertisers now only go through sponsorship, which doesn't give any share to YouTube.

Youtube servers are terrible. Why not focus on offering a smoother experience? Then charge what you want.

What's terrible about them? I have no issues here in west Europe
