    that’s right: into their UI; with free software, you could use a different UI with no ads

      Serious question: how can YouTube pay the bills with zero ads? I’m not talking about making a profit, just breaking even.

      which is basically what we do using ublock origin - and then they inject ads directly into the video stream, and a custom UI wouldn’t help.
