Price-gating downloads seems pretty evil. The feature doesn't cost Google any extra money. It could even save them a little server strain if a user wants to watch the same video repeatedly. But clearly, this is where Google's surveillance pays off: they know what people want, and they know to demand an extra $6/month for it.
Is "verticals" marketing speak for "categories" or "genres" or does it mean something else?
It varies by org but yes verticals are usually product silos that serve certain types of customers or needs.
I appreciate the information and that you took the time to answer, but I hate that combination of words.
