Ads on youtube sidebar?

I can't watch videos because the ads on the sidebar play while the video is playing. When I pause them, new ones open up and start playing. When they end, new ones play. WTF is this. Does youtube just need money so bad that they don't care if you can even watch the video?

    You can use AdBlock (https://adblockplus.org)/ to remove these ads. And its not youtube who wants the money from the ads, its your youtubers. If you want your favourite youtubers to continue entertaining you, you have to pay them in the form of watching ads or ads playing on the side of the screen. If they don't get their pay, bye bye. So think twice about the real reason why ads are there

    If you use firefox or chrome, you can use plugins/extensions such as Adblock and Screw Youtube Ads to never see a youtube ad again.
