Why is it bad for them to get paid? A lot of Youtubers put a lot of time into their videos, no different than any other job. I find myself avoiding tv most of the time.

My original complaint was aimed at the obvious attempted manipulation to get you to watch the stupid things. I don't care for obvious and ham-fisted tries at manipulation. "Here, watch the second half so you can see what we didn't show you the first time. Oh wait, here's some more, and more." They make no attempts at subtlety, I'm not even sure they know what subtle is. That's why I fervently dislike YouTube videos.
