The only thing worse than pre-roll ads on videos are the ads that pop-up mid-stream.
The real problem I have with video advertising is how much it messes with the user experience. I don't know if I'm going to see a pre-roll, a pop-up, both or neither. It's incredibly jarring when you're trying to get into the correct headspace to watch a video.
I'd happily pay $10-20/month or $150/year to not have ads in YouTube. Take my money, please. I've never clicked on a single one of your ads, and I want to support your service.
