Give it a few years in Chromebooks are going to be ecosystems that are filled with advertisements.

So many teachers use ad block and YouTube to teach students things in classes.

YouTube does a really bad job regulating what ads get served to what users.

I think we've got a few hilarious PR nightmares looming.
