> That's a pretty big assumption that offering this service would not result in these users also spending more time on other, non-education related content on YouTube that is monetized. It isn't a big assumption at all because this is an external embedded player (so the user is not 1 click away from the youtube homepage, they will be in a completely separate app), with no watch-next recommendations or external links. This is designed explicitly to not compel the viewer into continuing on to watch unrelated youtube videos. > a new YouTube embedded player that shows content on commonly used education apps without distractions like ads, external links or recommendations.
