tbh - i have no problem with "ethical" tubes - having to use that word is already comedy enough.
but i like to compare this to ad supported free TV vs. premium pay TV
I have a lot of content which is not bad - but older. And I have no problem licensing that to a tube site which then shows it for free while making money through ad revenues.
And then there are people who produce fresh exclusive content who are able to charge a premium for that. They should be the ones to decide how much of that they want to show for free, not people who steal it and not tubes who profit from that theft.
But overall the decision should be made by the content owners, not by tube sites extorting them into cooperating.
