YouTube should not be able to put ads on content they make available for you?
Tell me, in your world, who pays for the low latency, high bandwidth, high availability streaming platform you consume video on?
You can't argue with some of these anti-corporation people. I dislike greedy CEOs and shareholders as much as the next guy but a company hosting and streaming videos need some sort of revenue to keep those servers running.
They should be allowed to try to put ads on, and I should be allowed to try and block them.
