Regarding the youtube IE problem, I think you should report it to youtube not here.
But anyways everyone has a way of looking at the ads. For me ads are a source of information. Because of ads I come to know about various books, development tools, apis, web services, nearby conferences, discounts and many other things.
If you are using adblock then I would recommend you to whitelist those sites which you visit on regular basis and are helpful.
