That's the same Google which is providing the whole transcoding, delivery and bandwidth infrastructure to deliver you those videos?

Something that costs rather steep amount of money?

The infrastructure for growing and preparing tobacco products also "costs rather steep amount of money" but isn't justification for supporting them. The incessant vomiting of advertising by Google into the faces of the public and the distortion of incentives for content creation has reached a point where the overused word "toxic" has really become warranted.

I pay more than enough indirectly to Google (via buying products from companies that buy Google ads)
