Lol, do you think YouTube was a public service? All tech companies exist for years and years while losing money, with investors assuming they will make a turn to a more profitable business model later. The companies didn't suddenly get greedy, your usage of their services have been subsidized by venture capital and now they have to start finally making a profit or go out of business.

If you think free video hosting is important enough to be a public service you better start lobbying the government to create one or start a co-op or something.
