YouTube is by far the most popular video sharing and hosting service. You can watch billions of minutes of Audio-visual content for free from any supported device with active internet connectivity. YouTube has millions of monthly active users and a very powerful system to convert visitors into money. To earn money Google sells Ads on YouTube. Though Ads may be disturbing, they are the necessary evil.
YouTube shows a number of Ads to users ranging from video ads to sponsorship cards and banner ads. The ads are important for the content developers to create more powerful videos as they serve as the source of income for the YouTubers. Aggressively presented Ads can be vexatious. Google also has an aggressive mode of advertising and when they are injected during video play it is surely going to irk the users.
