Does no one care about how much it costs to hosts and stream the massive amount of videos that Youtube hosts?

We all just think that we are entitled to get all that for free?

If you don't want ads, just pay for the damn thing.

I'd bet they are showing us far more ads than necessary to run the platform, and many of them are trash (crap product, abrasive ad, etc.) Not to mention the tradeoffs with privacy.
