I'll just start using the free youtube replacement site that's bound to crop up fairly soon.

Good god, why do people keep saying this.
There's unlikely to be such a site, as YouTube is still going to be free.
It's pay to remove adds.

Might, but unlikely as a lot of youtubers rely on mass numbers, as they have their own sponsors, sell t-shirts and other merchandise and have their own website to promote through youtube contact. The chance of people turning to behind a pay wall is slim.
Music, films etc are already behind a pay wall.

Am I the only one who thinks there are way too many "paid" streaming sevices?

Probably not. But when I consider I would gladly pay (or rather was forced to pay) well over a tenner for a single DVD in the late 90s then the amount of content available to me at next to no cost now is amazing.

Unfortunately people expect to get everything for nothing these days, but it is not sustainable.
