I don’t want ads in any of my videos, but if I have to have intrusive and distracting profit generating clips interrupt what I actually want to watch … I think music videos are among the ones I’d prefer disrupted the least.

Then you are using it for music and pay the full rate.

Well, in fact, I just tolerate the ads and don’t directly offer financial recompense. Indeed, if I were to go for a paid tier, you are correct that it would likely be one that didn’t put ads where I want them least.

I did read the article. Music videos on YouTube are YouTube videos. Adding ads to them doesn’t magically make them something else.
What they’re really saying is “oh, well, we want you to get used to the subscription model having ads on some things, because we plan to expand it massively in the future.”

We’re arguing about whether music videos are videos and therefore there will be ads on videos… Here’s what the article says. Pretty straightforward.
My YT usage includes exactly zero anything related to music, so this seems relevant for me.
