If the ads weren't absolutely overwhelming (easily around 50% of all watch time, last time I watched without blockers) and if they weren't so poorly implemented (starting ads at random times and not even caring if they're cutting someone off mid-sentence, making 2min+ ads unskippable, accepting ads from very questionable advertisers) it might feel a bit less onerous.
