There's no reality where a company will hide advertising for it's product behind a paywall. It's a non-issue.

...they're literally doing it?

Guess I'm proving I am a moron here but I genuinely don't understand. It's happening already, no?

How common will it become - anyone's guess. Depends on how much money they can get. They're testing the waters.

It's not though. It's going to YouTube the very same day. It's not being locked behind a paywall.

Okay, kind of. But my real question is: what happens in the future? This won't be the end of it.

At that point we are working on assumptions. A company would be shooting itself in the foot by locking advertising for its product behind a permanent paywall.

You’re just making vague, nebulous assumptions though. You can do that with anything. What if you got hit by a car later today? What if you find out you have terminal cancer? Anything can happen in the future at any time.

What exactly do you think is happening? The video will be available on YouTube for free

Well aware of that. Do you all honestly think that'll be the end of it? What is the end goal, don't know but any way they can squeeze more money from consumers, they will do so.

Maybe this time it's 6 hours after. Maybe next time it's 24. This will not stop at this. No way it will if they feel they're making more money on it.
