That content does not belong to YouTube. And they also do not pay for 99% of it.

YouTube depends on people to use it for it's existence. They also depend on those users to upload content so that YouTube can then treat that content as if it is its own and monetize it.

If I was in such a precarious position I wouldn't go about making the experience crappy for those users that I'm desperately dependent upon.
