Which makes total sense given that video hosting is insanely expensive, especially at the scale at which YT is operating. I forget the exact number, but I heard that over half of the global internet bandwidth is used for video streaming from just a handful of websites.
That said though, I still choose Ublock Origin.

What if half of our ISP bill went to subsidy websites based solely on how many megabytes/GBs you’re using towards or from a certain source.

I get the idea, but it seems hardly reasonable to pay companies for the bandwidth they use. Wouldn’t that incentivize wasting bandwidth?

I can foresee a news website sending me gigabyte websites just to cheat the system. This is the part where the system breaks down

Maybe the opposite would work: serve the same content as the competitors with lower data.
