too much money
That's the rub. There's a LOT of money on the table.

It may be too late to turn this ship around, but there are a few things that, at least for me, would make YouTube ads less of a problem:
- Vet all the ads. Do not allow links to malware sites, scams, or low-quality merchandise and services to be on the platform.
- Make the ads less annoying. Don't stick them into weird spots on a video.
- Stop tracking me and trying to display targeted ads. I value my privacy, and like OP, I am never going to click an ad.

I've made no definitive statements, only conjecture. I'm really not sure what argument you're trying to make.
I'm not shitting on anyone, I'm simply stating facts. It is a possible explanation for the idiotic moves the Iranian military has been making as of late: Lack of experience.
More than half of Iran is too young to remember Operation Praying Mantis, or wasn't even born yet. They may underestimate America's willingness to respond forcefully to acts of aggression against us.
Tell yourself whatever helps you sleep at night, bud. Hopefully the fact that you support terrorism is overcome by the propaganda you dogmatically cling to.
Well then, they should oust Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Then they can return to the bargaining table, but they shouldn't expect to receive the same generous concessions that were offered previously, imo. I don't see Israel being so willing to put its national security up for compromise as it did before.
Hamas killed the two-state solution. Israel bent over backwards to try to compromise with and accommodate the Palestinians, which it had no legal obligation to do, and Hamas and its ilk rejected those offers because they didn't want two states--they wanted one state, sans Jews.
I'm not a fan of what Israel has been doing in the West Bank, but don't lie to me and act like those actions are why a two-state solution isn't working. Palestine didn't want to exist in a world that included Israel.
Way to completely ignore what I actually wrote.
Resorting to violence when democracy fails is different to outright rejecting democracy and going straight for violence, which is what Hamas and other Islamist terror groups in that region do. Hamas (and, I guess all Palestinians, since you're lumping them together?) have rejected political solutions to their conflict with Israel because they do not desire to coexist, they want to eject all Israeli Jews from the region, or, if possible, slaughter them. They don't desire peace. They desire war and terror and the genocide of the Jews.
I'm not sure what the ANC is, but the Viet Cong were absolutely not justified in their actions. They were part of an attempt to force communism on South Vietnam. In effect, they used force of arms in lieu of democracy to get what they wanted. They committed atrocities and were unjustified in their actions.
Any group that rejects political and democratic solutions to its problems in favor of violence is unjustified. Violence is a last resort.
