Just to play Devil's Advocate (and I can't believe that I'm arguing for YouTube here): Why shouldn't they charge for a useful service? And it does sound like they're removing other major problems with using their platform for this purpose.
Problem: Creators want to be paid more for their content (great content, good content, bad content, etc) Solution proposed by Google: Lets charge customers who view this content so that we can pay creators more without losing revenue.

also the US centric monopoly of .gov is probably antithetical to many early internet ideals.

Its almost like we're forced to watch their ads, as if Youtube is the only way to occupy our minds
