Yeah I know, JT talked about this in the thread I posted above. He shared his frustration about how tubes are putting ever more aggressive ads on their websites and the surfers are starting to get sick of it.
I think some tubes are starting to see sense, realising that it's better to work with content producers than against them, just a shame it's taken the better part of 5 years to get to this point.
There's more money to be made working with people than against them, very valid point though Dgraves. I suppose the problem is I'm talking about an entirely different business model and for tubes to implement something like that they'd have to do a 180 and start working with people, part of it is probably laziness too.
Easier to upload stolen content and then have paying adverts displayed beside them, it's just a shame because it's a wasted opportunity.

There's a lot of possibilities if this type of setup was implemented (assuming a good % of content producers are onboard)
Pay Per Clip $0.99 or even recurring subscription per niche i.e. $5 per month for each niche and the customer gets access to all updates in that niche.
Give the customer as many options as possible
