Yes, but my comment was making the point that "Youtube Premium has 20 million subscribers" is not a valid defense of Quibi's business model. Quibi is a paid-only service that doesn't have the ability to draw on a massive active userbase for paid upgrades and bonuses. Whether Youtube's tactics are or are not fair isn't germane.

To the extent that it's not germane, you're the one who brought it up, and it was fair game for me to reply to. I really thought that was the main thrust of your argument (turns out it's not).
