This is an important point. Now that the chance of losing neutrality, and therefore the possibility of censorship is affecting everyone, there is an expectation from conservatives, who are routinely silenced on the internet, to join hands to preserve the "neutral" status quo. It isn't even just purely politically conservative folks either. For example, Dr. Gad Saad spoke at a Free Speech event in Toronto very recently, and the video was demonetized on YouTube before it had even been published. I have disposable income, I watch Dr Saad's videos. I wouldn't mind viewing ads before his videos. Why would I think less of an advertiser whose ad showed up as a preroll? Am I not the intended audience? Or is it that my impressions aren't allowed because I enjoy Dr. Saad's content? What if I was highly critical of his content and I wanted to watch it, are my video views still not worth anything? The only reason I am on YouTube.com for the duration of the video is because of Dr. Saad. If YouTube is making money off my presence, why can't Dr. Saad? For the advertiser, I am the product, so what does he have to do with anything?
