But such YT such the majority of any other service/work, isn't free: it requires a form of monetization in a way or another and YT uses advertisment. They have enourmous costs and they have much bigger revenues. If everybody blocks ads then they shut down. You don't work for free, neither them. I'm not a paladin of advertisment, simply saying those are their service conditions (that as a side effect provide money to content creators too). Don't like their terms of use? Well, don't use their service. Or adopt the other option they provide paying a premium account
