Mega turn-off, which has reduced my viewing of these videos to a trickle.

Bill Still's 'BS' has been esp immoral, in that he sandwiches the vid's actual content between a front & back end ad, then the 'main content' is mostly a several minute long clip which he agreed with, usu from a FOX News host or guest. So 'BS' is using FOX News content, to peddle his own sponsor clicks...
I agree with your take on the toxicity of the ad scams with YT videos.

Jake MorphedPhonyO appears to have YouTube related income generation as a main means of his financial income and support.

There has to be a better way to get truthful news and reporting on a new platform that does not rely, at all, on advertiser income. I would not mind paying a reasonable membership fee if it was run in a solid First Amendment way.
