Youtube pays royalties from their advertising revenue these days, and Google is shocking good at making money from advertising.

  I'll take your word for it - I don't recall a single advertisement, and I was listening as closely as I could for one. Not to say they didn't happen, but they weren't anywhere near as annoying as the spotify/pandora ones are.

    Maybe the parent is talking about banner ads on the video and not video ads?

      Which brings us right back to the beginning - today, on youtube, you can for all intents and purposes stream whatever music you want, on demand (i.e. Not Internet Radio), for free with limited to no interruptions with Youtube. Is it just the case that nobody knows this, so it's not a big deal, but everyone is going to know about Apple Music?
