They can't, because there were a number of high-profile media storms blaming companies for advertising on YouTube when some of the content was distasteful by chance (like videos by terrorists). It's great that you're an adult about it, but the media and media consumers love getting upset over things like this. Advertisers used to be more accepting of YouTube as a platform instead of a curator of content, until the public outcry against it. This is why we can't have nice things.
