You already paid for those resources, at least half of it. YouTube put caching appliances on your ISP data center, and they don't pay for electricity and bandwidth to your ISP you paid for. YouTube cost for serving video is incredibly low, yet they keep increasing the subscription price. This is purely money grabbing by Google instead of simply covering their cost. They are already profitable before removing their lowest subscription tier.
