You didn't really reply to my comment. You kinda just said the same thing again, but anyway.

I guess we'll just agree to disagree. You can use YouTube without viewing ads. There are ways around it.

My point was, for the average consumer, there are way too many ads being put into everything, and unless you're savvy enough to navigate around this, the only way this will change is with regulatory intervention, which can actually happen.
