A comment on Streaming video has surpassed cable subscriptions worldwide. Parent comment

It's getting downvoted because paid options grow ads, like most cable channels did. (Not all of them. I think TCM is still ad-free.)

Plus, a comment sibling to this one said YouTube Red has ads, so there's that.

What does grow ads mean? FUD?

YouTube Premium is ad-free, it says so in their frontpage. Are you saying that's a blatant lie?

That doesn't address my point that content producers should get paid.

From YouTube Premium ad: "Ad-free YouTube, and our new music streaming service, YouTube Music. Services: No ads, Downloads, Background play."
