Because of the insane amount of advertising they can do on the massive majority of people who don't use adblock?

Because they hold THE monopoly on video upload?

There are many reasons why a company exists with no profit incentive.

Why do you think they do advertising? It's for profit lol.

So let the peasants who don't know how to block ads cover the costs for the rest of us freeriders?

What a good faith argument! I will surely waste my time arguing with you!
