I'll gladly see YouTube cease to exist, then, before I either put up with that volume of ads or pay them any money. They are hardly a life necessity.
My business has paid Google enough money in AdWords costs -- as have thousands of other businesses, I suspect -- to make it slightly hard for me to sympathize with them on the issue of their costs.
It is not just Google that does this - many others do as well. So no sympathy needed but people need to figure out that you don't get thing like that for free. -- Brian
