Agreed mostly, but then you're at YouTube's mercy. YouTube pulls TWiT videos all the time due to takedown notices over content that is played in-show as part of the discussion. i.e. let's play this new interesting advert from Company X, or a clip of last week's TV Show Y. Oops, your entire show is now gone.

YouTube has been apparently awful at having humans being contactable to sort this stuff out. Guys From Queens have related the same experiences.

Own your content. Yes, it's expensive, and a cost of doing business, but TWiT's got some revenue.
