If you wanted a contract, they'd honor it for the term of the contract but you'd have to pay for that up front but statistically nobody online likes to pay for content so the ad-funded model is pervasive. The ethical choices are either to accept the service as offered or watch something which is offered under terms you find more acceptable.

Why are those the only ethical choices? What ethical framework are you assuming?

Because there are two parties involved and those are the options which have mutual agreement.
