No. Youtube is an enormous data pool sitting on an even more enormous CDN, with all free content. Users have the choice to pay up or get served ads.

I'm more than happy to be served ads, I'll just make sure my user-agent hides them from me like it hides all kinds of other spam.

I believe you critically misunderstood the point the person you replied to was making.

You’re all in violent agreement. Maybe drop the ad hominem.

He's making 3 statements and people are agreeing/disagreeing with each separately:

1. Am I the only one that is a little turned off

2. how everyone feels

3. they deserve everything for free?

It's complicated the fact that some of these are negating statements where agreement is expressed by a "no."
