I'm really happy to see point #2 being mentioned. From their inception, Youtube established a social contract of providing their videos free to users without ads. I don't think Google should just be allowed to unilaterally change the contract on behalf of all parties and force it on everyone. If they had a good reason to do so, perhaps I would humor it, but "because of shithead shareholders" does not pass that bar.
