I think it's indicative of a larger problem in society: people don't value bytes of video and will penny pinch to the extreme in that department, but they'll gladly drop any amount on Amazon shipping.

After all, why should they? The entertainment industry has acted atrociously to consumers in recent decades - it's just a shame that independent content creators are being stifled (declining ad revenue, refusal to pay, etc..) by the behaviour of megacorps.

I disagree. I think it's indicative that people don't trust Google to provide value.
