Well said. If I'm reading about fishing, for instance, an ad for a new piece of fishing gear would not be too annoying, as long as it isn't too intrusive (like popping up in the middle of my reading).

But when I'm watching a YouTube video, having the video cut mid-sentence to some hyper-annoying and unrelated noisy ad simply angers me and makes me look for an ad-blocker.
