YouTube is one of those sites that are so powerful.

Could they not just show less frequent ads but charge more for the advertising space? Surely they get decent click rates on their ads compared to the average web sites.

And yet- Everyone will continue to bitch about this while NO ONE will do the right thing and just stop using the service.

Part of the problem is there are effectively no alternatives to YouTube. The other options are either just front-ends or completely lack enough creators to have the enormous wealth of videos and information.
