If this actually happens, and Google doesn't listen to the millions of complaints I'm sure we'll hear, then I think a mass migration is actually pretty likely. A large amount of the most successful YouTubers, literally the people that make YouTube what it is, are LPers, and this would make an enormous impact on them. PewDiePie, the guy with the most subscribers, will have pretty much all of his videos un-monetized. YogsCast, Jesse Cox, all of those essentially live off of YouTube.
I don't think this will affect me much. Most videos I watch are either 100% original, or not monetized. I am subscribed to Schmoyoho though, and my favourite kinds of videos by them are actually songifications of other peoples' videos or news stories (as opposed to their original songs).
