I use YouTube for background music while I program, but fortunately my wide variety of instrumental music choices are not inundated with ads. To me this indicates they are putting their muscle behind a certain flavor of content representative of specific demographics inclined to spend money. If YouTube tried to muscle me in this way I would just use Amazon Music instead. I detest ads enough that I would alter my preferences, behavior, and content choices to remain ad free. To those of you who are subscribing to YouTube or watching copious amounts of ads thank you for indirectly funding my entertainment.
