Companies pay YouTube for advertisements. Google's not just putting ads on videos for fun.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that, but YouTube today has a lot more ads, especially spammy ones, than YouTube 7 years ago did. This is an issue with them using a business model that doesn't scale very well.
