Paywalls are ok as long as they regulate the content that is "premium" and have quality assurance. I don't want to have to pay god knows how much just to see cat videos in a higher resolution. If Youtube makes original series that rival what Netflix and Amazon Prime are doing, then we're in business and I'll totally pay for that. But nothing dumb like what happened when Steam brought in the paid mods thing. People were demanding more money than the game itself was worth for a bloody skin. That's outrageous, and part of the reason why it had to go down.
