      Do you think running YouTube is free?

      Either the advertisers pay for it, or you do. That’s the deal.

            There’s actually more value in metadata than just for advertising, such as scientific and general market research. And even just talking about ads, it’s still useful for both targeted and non-targeted ads and is not limited to the YouTube advertising space.

        Do you think my data and internet connection is free? Either I give some money, and hope that youtube doesn’t insert ads in the premium version of youtube or I give up my data and download obnoxious and potentially harmful ads.

        Do you think targeted advertising and creating detailed user profiles for that is the only way to run ads?
