Good joke, YouTube.

Ah yes, but what about the violation to our time where we've had to sit through 30 second ~ 2 minute ads of over-dramatized ways for shitty companies to get us to buy shit we don't want and subscribe to services we don't need? What about those violations and those violations happen more frequently than us blocking your ads? The hell with you.

Well, then don't go on YouTube, or use peer tube. You are trading 30 seconds of your time for:

creators making the thing you so desperately want to watch
disk space to store it
bandwidth to send it around the world
compute to transcode it and process it
real estate and security for the premises
power for the datacenter
ac to cool the servers
wages of workers to maintain that whole infrastructure
wages of devs for the app
yes, profits for the company

Of course, you can decide to not pay and steal it instead, just don't act like you are morally entitled to do it.
