No, but they do pay the costs of hosting/serving the videos, which I thought was the relevant analogy to the service being used when driving on a road and there being billboards next to the road.

Is the department of transportation owned those billboards and used them to fund the roads I would feel 0% more obligated to look at them.

Sure, but it would make the analogy valid.
