We already support videos that have acceptable ads: not YouTube ads, but in-video ads. The creator is paid directly by the advertiser with no middle-man, the user is not tracked and can easily skip them, and personally I prefer these ads instead of unskippable TV-like commercials .

Same here. I usually just shoplift at the retail store and then send the wholesale price to the wholesaler. Not a big fan of middlemen.

It's a pretty good back around not having a Costco account.

And you expect YouTube to host these for free so the creator can be paid why exactly?
