Maybe these creators should post sponsor-free versions of their videos on Patreon?

If you are watching for free, and you're that annoyed by ads, then maybe you just feel entitled.

If the the content is there, I'll watch it; if it's not, I won't. I certainly don't feel entitled to it.

If anything, the sense of entitlement seems to be emanating firmly from the people who upload the videos: they seem to think that because they upload videos, they are entitled to make money from them. Sorry, no.
