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.
