> Instead record labels could pay to have their music videos prioritized or to run giveaway contests.

Isn’t that a form of advertising?

> QUBE also lead to the creation of Nickelodeon

If I recall correctly, Nickelodeon use to fill up late night spots with infomercials.

It is advertising, but usually not the kind people are complaining about. There's no Netflix tier to remove product placement from shows.

And yeah Nickelodeon did but that's because the network was "off" during those hours. When it was on it was 12 hours uninterrupted for the first 5 years.
