Cable TV broadcasts include both the network's ads and slots for the carrier to run their own ads. They're not inserting bonus ads on top of the actual content. Again, this is exactly the same as any cable provider has always worked.

Arguably we don't _want_ the same as any cable provider has always worked.

We don't have a choice. That's how cable works, and YouTube TV exists for those of us who need it. They can't magically create an ad free broadcast of TNT or something. How would that even work?

You don't have to like broccoli but it'd be weird to complain that it doesn't taste like chocolate.

You're not wrong. It's just that YouTube TV needs to be in time sync with Cable TV.
