YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Can I ask why people act like YouTube is so evil for trying to make money off their site? They provide a service I value and it costs money to do so. No disrespect to anyone who doesn't want to watch ads or pay (like I do, I use it a LOT) but I don't understand why some people seem to be personally insulted by the idea that they can't get it for free forever with no strings attached.
Honest question, please don't flame me 🙏
I pay for Nebula - $30 a year which is about £22.50. That won't even cover two months of YouTube Premium (£12 pm), and there's not even the discounted yearly option in the UK.
And "if you're not paying you're the product" is wrong - YouTube/Google would still be datamining my viewing habits to sell to advertisers.
