I still don’t understand the reasoning

Advertisers consider themselves as sponsors of the videos their ads play with. They worry that people will associate their product with something negative if their ads are played alongside that negative thing.
Great. Lets pretend life is something it’s not to appease advertisers 😂
Yeah it's dumb. Maybe nostr and v4v fixes this, but I'm afraid most people have grown too used to getting things for "free". YouTube is not interested in improving the experience of users because the users aren't their customers, they are their product that they sell to advertisers. They only want to increase engagement so people watch more videos and more ads.
