I don't have cable TV and without YT's probably illegal content i would
never have seen Stephen Colbert finally roast the president of the US
and the media, would never have seen Keith Olbermann savage the US
secretary of defense ala Murrow, and would never have seen Jon Stewart
ridicule countless fools who needed to be ridiculed.

Maybe its only 0.001% of the content of YT, but surviving in the US
right now is miserable enough, and not having the sense that some widely
watched entertainers don't like the situation either would make it even
harder.
