It is unfair competition when a megacorp can compete at loss to establish dominance in a new sector - yet these megacorps do it regularly. Buying their way in, or providing a service at a loss until the competition is eradicated.

Youtube is the perfect example of a loss leader. Impossible to provide for "free" unless you own a massive ad network and substantial global infrastructure. It is simply "unfair" that it exists in its current form. You cant run youtube off google ads - only google can do that, because they get both the publishers share and the ad networks share of the revenue split!
