No matter whether you're watching TV or on the Internet--these businesses are doing all they can to get your money. The ads on YouTube get on my nerves, too, especially since I don't know of a way to disable them, and the owners of the videos are partnered with YouTube (which allows ads to appear on their videos every time you view it).
