I was going to post article from youtube but it seems they now show ads, and I am finding many web sites also show ads before you get the article you clicked on???

I avoid clicking on any article on web sites that includes a video beacause it is usually an ad with a short clip.

Just like newspapers, magazines, radio, and TV, eh?

While posting $55B revenue (4/5 of which came from advertising) yesterday, Google/Alphabet claimed to be “still scratching the surface” over how much money it could make from YouTube.

Youtube/Google learned the ad thing from watching how porn sites make their money. I read that in an article. So basically, the ad thing popping up was developed by porn sites.

Your attention is a valuable commodity and that's too much money to just leave on the table. Google is giving out extra cloud storage if you get their logo tattooed on the inside of your eyelids.
