I mean...yeah. Ads subsidize viewers that can't/won't pay. That's the whole system. Did you expect something else?

Sucks but better than paying for cable to still see ads.
y'know, it used to be that you paid money for things and there wasn't even an ad option.
I mean companies don’t pay if you don’t see the ads, they just show the ads to someone else and you didn’t pay if you see the ads.
Yes, but also, running Youtube costs about 10x as much as both are paying.
Only if you didn't count the data scraping for advertisement part.
