I'll gloss over that you either missed my point or ignored it; I don't use YouTube because it's too shit, actually.

I don't pay for any Google services, not that I'm using any with any consistency anymore, for the same reason that I don't use them anymore. Google cannot be trusted to provide a good service, paying costumer or not. If you punish me for using the free product, why would I ever trust you? Steam doesn't slap me across the face at every chance it gets when I don't spend money on their store for a long period of time, yet I have no issue paying for the games I do want to play despite piracy being completely risk-free by comparison.
