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."
We’re arguing about whether music videos are videos and therefore there will be ads on videos... Here’s what the article says. Pretty straightforward.
My YT usage includes exactly zero anything related to music, so this seems relevant for me.
