YouTube is one of those sites that are so powerful.

Could they not just show less frequent ads but charge more for the advertising space? Surely they get decent click rates on their ads compared to the average web sites.

In that case their corporate buddies will lose precious profits. Instead, they try to wring the consumers dry.
