What V4V also does is make it more obvious that it's services that need to be paid for, even more than content.
Lots of people will upload a video of themselves playing guitar, or an essay they've written, even if nobody pays them to, as they get something emotional out of the interchange and they can leverage the attention into a concert, book signing, or something.
But the person running the infrastructure just has that and it needs to be paid for, or he'll eventually stop or reduce the quality of the service, or use his control of the market for some third purpose.
