I think it's awesome that some people would create awesome things just for the love of creation and of sharing it with other people. However, I think we all know that the vast majority of current creators would not create if they couldn't make money from it anymore. Do we really want that world?

That's all a bit separate from the YouTube ads conversation, more about money in entertainment more broadly.
