I agree (although I do find ad breaks in text to undermine the content more than visual mediums, for whatever reason).
But RSS made tracking very hard. And while I know that's your point (not wanting to be tracked), one reason it works in YouTube videos is there's a lot of analytics that can be used to advocate for rates (and track what's skipped, what's watched, etc).
