So to be clear before starting, Bert contends that at best only a
unique at-best local nat address can be used to identify a viewer.
That's categorically incorrect. The advertising, I could care less
about. And there are ample ways of ignoring/blocking that to make it
moot from the get-go. But when it comes to bandwidth accounting,
that's not a problem.

So if you haven't seen it, it doesn't exist? Gotcha. Back in reality,
it depends on what Youtube content you are watching. I take it you
have not seen any ads embedded inside the Youtube player like Adap.TV,
etc.'s stuff?
