This is a good point btw. Content that is created for the purpose of making money on YT monetization tends to be crap more often, because it's the naturally expected consequence of the primary purpose being to get more views instead of to create more useful content.

I think you need to learn how to write.
It's a headache to read every sentence. It's filled with non-sequiturs and 90% of your sentences aren't finished.
You aren't just supposed to barf out here whatever goes on in your head.
RJSV:
Ok tszaboo, I see your point. But if you are familiar with content creators, maybe a good example of a content creator would be Electroboom (Mehdi from Canada). That originator needs a revenue stream to keep going, while something like a Charlie Chaplin estate would have had content copyrights expire, by now. I'm not a lawyer.
(I often adopt a 'raw' writing style as maybe a reflection of the social chaos...a quite irritating state. Maybe a sarcastic angle aggravated by things like declining high school test scores etc).
Some others here respond with their own version of that irritation.
But perhaps needs to be a better systematic distinction, (on YouTube), between somebody making instructional or entertainment material, right now, and some viewing material that originally had formal copyright, like movies from 1934.
Thus, I value, like I said, the input here by those that think it's a 'freeloader' that wants to view and old movie. Not sure if that is totally covered, legally, but rather it's left as a grey area partially due to the new technology.
Try walk in my shoes, for a second, as I argue with one of my doctors, who cannot even understand which is a first name or which is a last name, their comprehension of language structure is so poor. In my particular case, it's English, with doctor a recent immigrant.
We actually, literally argued that, a (blood) test in 'November' was not an 'August test'. Point is there's lots of faulty language out there, so maybe I sarcastically mock those language barriers. Maybe a waste of time, to point out some small, deliberate faults in presentation.
Others seem to be able to post their thoughts or disagreements here.

Yes so, even as I ran another time, checking how many clicks it took, just to position the thumbnail sized ADVERTISEMENT that is appearing at bottom of the screen, the video that came up, finally, now has a shared AD space, 50/50 with included AD message...(says Get Your Grocery Card Now).
I had wanted to quantify how many strategic clicks it took, to get the thumbnails positioned so that, eventually, when requested video starts, it can be expanded to look much like the YouTube stuff of, say, 2 years ago. What I'm saying is that it isn't just an AD, or a couple, but also everything is shrunk to thumbnails at the bottom of screen, and so requires some scrutiny and finger location just simply to get the video expanded properly...often missing up to 5 seconds of the music while focus is on that little task. Otherwise you are stuck with a thumbnail sized window playing...ok when just interested in audio, I guess.
Now, after all that, the YouTube presentation takes up the lower half of video action ...this time advertising a free card for shopping, (as has been the trend, lately). It's a medical care card, which many HMO providers have started to offer to pay your grocery bills.
Funny thing this happens, getting even more annoying by playing an AD, DURING your video play.
I had actually planned on sarcastic remark that, next, the smartphone will insist on playing a 3 minute AD before each call completes!
(As one poster suggested earlier).
Of course that cheapness might still allow emergency contacts (911 etc) without ADs playing first.
Shiiiii, this cheapness is outlasting my own snarky imagination. I should go work for those advertisers...or maybe they should come work for me...lol.

Guys. I will tell you about legit workaround right now. You see, in Russia we have no youtube ads, no adblock necessary. They disabled it. So all you need a VPN service that uses Russian IP. Either your current VPN will have that option, or find another VPN that has this option. Or, there are plenty of proxy servers, use that. :-//
