No, youtube now operates much like your standard commercial content provider.
Not a no commercials, subscription based model either.
Have a look at how advertising affects commercial television and radio for instance.
Things are also worse at the moment because of the increased potential to spark consumer backlash via social media.
Of course companies are demanding control over where their adverts are placed and how their advertising money is spent. Obviously this is harder to do with a platform like youtube than with commercial TV or radio, but the advertisers
have demanded it.
