They present a false choice where Google is saying "We can do this the easy way or the hard way" and we are forced to choose between bad and worse. There is no reason we should not have a less bad choice: the same amount of ads but non-targeted. We, as customers, should not be held hostage by the massive corporations.

This is Youtube. You can just not go there. You have no right to set the terms they offer their services by.
Sorry, what?
We’re talking about offering users a choice of ad options on a site they’re choosing to visit.
That’s nothing at all like a gangster threatening physical harm.
