>>“YouTube’s ad-supported model supports a diverse ecosystem of creators, and provides billions of people globally access to content for free with ads,” the company’s statement says.

Before I switched to using adblocking on my phone for youtube (like I did for my desktop), I made sure I will never ever buy whatever crap was presented in YT ads.

I believe I am not the only one for which ads have a contrary effect to the desired effect.

So, some companies payd Youtube money and end up actually losing money from sales.
