AFAIK, YouTube actually losing money by offering paid ads opt-out.

Really? I've heard from YouTubers they make drastically more money from Premium viewers ( those who pay for no ads) and "regular", ad-paid viewers.

I have no source to back up this claim but I think SergeAx is referring to YouTube themselves making less money.

I think you are right in saying that YouTubers make more money, but YouTube themselves might lose more by not showing ads.
