    Would you ban television commercials? Sponsored products unrelated to a YouTube video’s content?

    I completely agree with you. So tired of pushed garbage ads. There’s just a gray area so the language of a hypothetical “law” would have to carefully considered.

      Television ads are a grey area, they don’t tend to track you and follow you around in a creepy way.

      Sponsored content, is in my opinion very similar to TV ads, the sponsor is the same for all viewer of the vid in a similar way to TV.

        They didn’t track before the introduction of cable boxes with phone-home capabilities, at any rate.
