A very large chunk of what people consume these days is effectively already ads

That’s what grinds my gears. I understand ads pay bills, but showing multiple ads before a trailer for a video game or movie is excessive.

I find it extremely funny that YouTube serving ads also strains the same video infrastructure they're trying to increase revenue on.
