The day they do this is the day I delete my account; I've already come pretty close as I've gotten tired of scrolling through the sponsored crap.

Join us on Google+ -- it's like the Python of social networks.

I'm already on Google+; unfortunately, most of my friends and family are not. And if I want to stay in contact with them, I need a facebook account.

However, I'm only willing to put up with so much before I just delete my account and revert to email alone for that group of people. Video ads would only make my decision to do that immediate as opposed to coming very close to it everyday.

Because Google will never rely on ads to monetize a product?
