Your bank account details don't reside in a published, yet controlled space on the internet?

I know you're not trying to flog your effort (monetary savings in this case) on a pay-to-view basis, but why (beyond the impossibility of securing the rights) are people who wish to try and sell their effort to those willing to pay, and attempt to restrict those who are unwilling to pay for their effort, somehow intrinsically wrong?

There is nothing wrong with that.

I just don't want to be forced to see ads or not be allowed to skip ahead in the video (which is what DRM amounts to).

In other words, I want to be in control of what I see.
