the youtube red announcement also said it was coming to canada "soon". given that they rebranded the whole service quicker than they could manage to expand to Canada, i don't have too much hope for youtube's definition of soon.

A few weeks ago I had a pre-roll ad for YouTube Red. Being in the UK I assumed this meant it was finally launching here but when I followed-up it was still the original set of countries.
I don't understand the roadblock. They already have license to show the videos, just give me them without ads!

Could they be making more money from ads than they expect to make from a reasonably priced premium version?

Not only that, but as a Canadian for things like Cobra Kai I need to pay outright to view - that'd be months of subscription payments in one web series if I wanted to watch it.

Yeah, youtube red/music key has been "coming soon" to some European countries for years already (though it was initially available for play music subscribers for a few months during some limited release/pilot).
