Since when did HN become a YouTube support area?!

I personally haven't seen any uptake in ads nor will your anecdotal observations attract any sort of factual comments.

Also I don't think that a supposed 75% of videos showing ads is excessive (to get a perspective on "exessive" I suggest you take a look at Hulu).

Bandwidth isn't cheap and video creators deserve a paycheck, whinning about this sort of stuff strikes me as petty and a mark of false entitlement, also the FUD about G+ is unwarranted.

If you're truly wondering about related updates check their blogs, it's where the announcements usually are.
