The users generating the content people actually want to watch wouldn't be able to do so without the monetization that's in place, though. They can't make content for free, and shouldn't be expected to. And not all creators can rely on sponsorships to subsidize themselves, either, so most creators rely pretty heavily on ad revenue in order to stay afloat on the platform and keep the lights on.
If the creators can't afford to keep creating, then that also degrades YouTube's service as a whole, as well.

Really? I’m pretty sure people can make uoutune content, and maintain a job. If youtube can’t stay afloat without invasive ads happening every 5 minutes then youtube deserves to go the wat of MySpace and every other dead platform before them. Simple as that. Youtube isn’t a necessity.

If that's how you feel, then don't use it. Don't consume the content made by people who quite likely rely on ad revenue to pay their rent.
Simple as that.
