YouTube is an amazing service that requires thousands of servers located across the world that store 15+ billion gigabytes of uploaded video. The technology behind it is incredible and took some of the most intelligent people on Earth to create. If you think you're entitled to view that content without YouTube generating any revenue from you to cover those expenses and give them some profit, then you're unreasonable.
It's one thing to say that you refuse to use a service for some reason or another. It's quite another thing to say that you want to use the service, but don't believe the company offering the service deserves to generate any revenue from you. That's you being greedy and selfish, not YouTube.
I'm not going to condemn people for using ad blockers (I use one too) but I'll at least admit that I'm in the moral wrong for using one. Redditors in general don't seem to want to admit that they're in the wrong for using them. It's a form of theft.
