Apple TV yesterday received four more channels, with UFC, The Scene, Fusion and Dailymotion joining the dozens of other channels available on the device.

Not really, it seems that the youTube app is only there to monetize itself through advertising.
I almost want to stop updating my Apple TV, just so I can continue an add-free YouTube.
YouTube is fully in its rights to show you advertising since it is providing the service at no charge to you.
I don’t think being able to skip the majority of the ads after 5 seconds is too much trouble. In fact, I was impressed with the interface which showed a clear graphical indicator of which button to press on the Apple remote to skip the ad on the one video out of ten or more I watched last night.

It’s a small sacrifice I guess. If you want quality content ad-free the easiest way is always to pay someone. Whether the price is right is a different discussion.
I’m not arguing about Google’s right’s at all, and I agree that it is their right to do so. That being said, it still is an annoyance, especially when they don’t provide a way to remove those ads by paying.
