I don't know if they're paid for, but the "you should watch this" and "follow that" and "omg this is so hip in your region right now" are driving me crazy.

This was referring to the fact that the main features that the article discussed were about previewing videos and peer to peer video sharing, which are tangible UX improvements that have nothing to do with showing the user more ads.
Can I clear anything else up for you?

Nope. That's about it.
The point I'm trying to make is that YouTube Go offers a significantly different UX that seems to be about making YouTube more accessible on slower connections. Your speculation about ads in the UI is baseless, IMO.
