I should clarify, I don't mind seeing ads on youtube compared to twitter.
But in general I prefer not to have ads and instead be entirely community funded/donations.
The problem is, a lot of people don't have money to spare especially these days.
And, to be fair, this advertising model on youtube gave rise to new media which overall has been a good thing and an answer to cable news propaganda.
