You know there aren't ads if you actually pay for it right?
I agree the ads are obnoxious, but hosting YouTube is incredibly expensive, and online ads are incredibly cheap so... Even if they _weren't_ being greedy there would need to be A LOT of ads to compensate for the hosting & engineering costs.
Like... If you hate the ads THAT MUCH, but want to continue using the service, why not just pay for the service?
(side note: you also get streaming music (YouTube Music) when you pay for YouTube which is a nice bonus.)
