So your options are to watch with ads or not watch. Why is this so hard?

If Walmart only let you "buy" DVDs at the checkout by watching ads that the cashier shows you, how is it okay to just steal the DVDs because you don't want to watch the ads?

Not watching YouTube isn't a realistic option in some cases (e.g. there are jobs where you'd get fired if you refuse to use YouTube, or you need to watch YouTube to be part of a social group).

I can buy DVDs somewhere else, while most Internet videos are only on YouTube nowadays.
