People have every right to be furious about it though. Look at amazon prime: they've now introduced ads for paying customers. Want no ads? - pay more. What will stop youtube from doing the same? After all, shareholders must appeased. Where does it end?

Nothing. And given it's their company, they get to offer their products/services however they wish.

If you don't find value in it, stop using it.
