If you're talking ethics, I think the most important thing is that the user controls what their software does. YouTube videos are hosted on the web, and fundamentally people can choose how to display web sites on their own computer. Of course, if YouTube doesn't like this it's their prerogative to not host their content like that.
The user controls what they display but Google controls what YouTube should be. And it should be ad supported or subscription.
