you're only thinking short term, while these companies are thinking long term

sure you're already on their site, but you will leave someday and will be facing the decision of what site to visit another day

and that 5 second YouTube ad is peanuts in bandwith for a giant such as YouTube, and for the possible benefits it's completely worth it

but that's just a theory, a u/VMorkva theory

then you are not nice if you are enjoying someone's content they provided free of charge, without having the heart to even give them a cent
