Yes that's how a company makes money...continue, you can do this!

Yeah. That's how it works. They get money either from serving you ads or exempting you from the ad service. Either way they get money.

Advertising is a racket. Always has been.

Back in the day most media was designed around commercial interruptions. Watch some old cartoons on Netflix, they often have "fade to black" moments after which the last 10 seconds are repeated. Nowadays commercials are algorithmically inserted into content to maximize viewership, meaning that more often then not a YouTube commercial will play right before the most important bit of the video.

Still better than old school linear tv, where you paid to watch things being constantly interrupted by paid commercials.

I'm astounded at how much is available on the internet at no/little cost. Think how valuable our data must be for them to continue providing it.

I mean...yeah. Ads subsidize viewers that can't/won't pay. That's the whole system. Did you expect something else?
