The article from 2008 doesn't mention that butterflys might be appearing across the video randomly either. How is what they didn't specifically say (or imply) relevant? I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

I thought the messages from that far back was interesting, which hedged toward this eventual practice.

I thought you you were saying that YouTube has been marketing ad free video hosting since 2008 and the article was the evidence of that.

I must have misunderstood.
