My problem main problem with ads is that websites like YouTube and SoundCloud are locking content they don't own behind ads. But they'll remove those ads if you pay them money. I know some creators allow monetization on their channels, but I've watched plenty of videos and streamed several albums that were uploaded by people who didn't own the content and it's still locked behind ads.

There is still a non zero cost associated with storing and streaming this content.

And profiting off of ads placed on stolen content is not a solution
