I disagree. I think that if some vlogging goes into the television-like way it's going - for those who want to do it that way - they need the ads to support the production costs of the show, including reporting, etc. One parallel universe that comes to mind for me is This American Life - they do any ads at the end, and I love how they tweak them, like the ad for Volkswagen is that the car is just a shell for the radio, or something like that.

Not that I am an A-List vlogger by any means, I wouldnt do this no matter what the reason was. I do have Google Ads on my site and that's plenty. To insert ads into the videos? In my opinion, that's just obnoxious to the viewer. As we are inundated with advertising on TV all the time, I would rather that online videos be clear of this crap. I hate the fact that big media sites force you to watch commercials before their content. I refuse to watch their videos for that reason alone. If vloggers started doing this, I wouldn't watch their videos either.
