Youtube is infrastructure. Trying to monetize it by charging to watch cat videos would be even sillier. They host videos, the natural way to monetize that is to charge for hosting videos.

Interesting how there are no companies making money the "natural" way.

Well sure, because success is defined as "growth" and you don't get a bazillion videos of cats by charging people to host videos of their cat.
