No. Youtube is an enormous data pool sitting on an even more enormous CDN, with all free content. Users have the choice to pay up or get served ads.

I believe you critically misunderstood the point the person you replied to was making.

You’re all in violent agreement. Maybe drop the ad hominem.

He's making 3 statements and people are agreeing/disagreeing with each separately:

1. Am I the only one that is a little turned off

2. how everyone feels

3. they deserve everything for free?

It's complicated the fact that some of these are negating statements where agreement is expressed by a "no."

I'm more than happy to be served ads, I'll just make sure my user-agent hides them from me like it hides all kinds of other spam.
