    Somebody didn’t read the article! It’s only Music videos that will have ads. It seems the cost savings here are all from cutting out record label contracts

      I did read the article. Music videos on YouTube are YouTube videos. Adding ads to them doesn’t magically make them something else.

      What they’re really saying is “oh, well, we want you to get used to the subscription model having ads on some things, because we plan to expand it massively in the future.”

      I don’t want ads in any of my videos, but if I have to have intrusive and distracting profit generating clips interrupt what I actually want to watch … I think music videos are among the ones I’d prefer disrupted the least.
