wouldn't that be stealing by defintion though? Get something for nothing.

  Stealing involves depriving someone something that they are entitled to. That is not happening here, so no. This is far farther from stealing than even copyright infringement, and even that does not qualify. (It would be approximately equivalent to copyright infringement in the case that the creator only gave you access to the videos upon you signing a contract that required you to view the ads to watch the video).

  Stealing isn't getting something for nothing its a crime based on the inherently rivalrous nature of physical things. You and I can't both eat the same sandwich or park in the same space. We decided to adopt a complex set of rules for parking spots and sandwiches to keep people from settling matters for themselves by punching and kicking each other so we can go about all the other fun things that make civilization go. Re-purposing it to mean me doing or not doing something that will profit you is intellectually dishonest.
