YouTube Music has started sneaking in more ads for free users
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Some free YouTube Music users are starting to see new banner ads. These ads are appearing between the cover art and the Now Playing controls. YouTube Music Premium costs $10.99 per month, but you can also use the service for free. Using the platform for free, however, comes with the drawback of being exposed to ads. And it looks like these users could get an extra dose of ads in the near future Currently, those who use the free version of YouTube Music are exposed to ads after every couple of songs. These ads appear on the Now Playing screen, taking over the space where the cover art is usually shown. Accompanying these ads is a 'Sponsored' label, a counter for the number of ads, and a timer. When these ads play, the progress bar turns yellow and the Now Playing controls are greyed out. In an attempt to pack in even more advertising, it seems YouTube Music is testing a new banner ad. Some users are reporting that they now see a banner ad that appears between the cover art and the Now Playing controls. Included in these banner ads is the advertiser's image, a line of text, the Sponsored label, and a URL. Off to the right is a dropdown arrow and a 'Buy now' button. Unlike the other ads, these banner ads don't interrupt your listening experience or take over your controls. Although these are not as invasive as the ones you have to listen to, users likely aren't thrilled they're getting an extra helping of advertisements. Fortunately, it appears this change has yet to roll out to most users. It's unclear how widespread this test is. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

The Nintendo Switch 2 Should Get Its Most Important App Soon
Switch 2 The Nintendo Switch 2 is out and has sold millions of copies already. Its game roster is mostly reprised hits, with only a few truly new entries (Mario Kart World), but owners also want the handheld to be able to do more than just play games. As it stands, there is no YouTube app on the Nintendo Switch 2, mirroring the issue that the Switch 1 had for a long while. The original Switch was launched on March 3, 2017 and it did not get the much-requested YouTube app until November 8, 2018, over a year later. Nintendo and Google are apparently both trying to avoid that kind of lengthy wait this time around. The YouTube team app responded to a fan asking about the issue, and got a response: I'm not sure a list of other devices that play YouTube is helpful here. The timeline here is 'soon,' which I take to mean less than a year like we saw with the Switch 1. I am amazed that Nintendo has been making this console for probably half a decade and once again it launched without key dedicated video apps, YouTube included. I'm not clear on how they can get CDPR to tireless work on making Cyberpunk 2077 work well on the Switch but they can't figure out how to get YouTube or Hulu on the system for launch. It's bizarre. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Right now you can transfer the old YouTube Switch app to the Switch 2 but…it doesn't work, so that's not any sort of workaround. This is one of those things where I think we give Nintendo too much slack about, the fact that the console can launch with almost no actually new games and not even a ton of standard apps that it should have for day one. But hey, it's Nintendo and Nintendo always gets passes. Hopefully we hear more about this soon from a source other than what a help account bot, but I have to believe it's a priority on at least Google's side, if not Nintendo's. There's no way it can take as long as it did last time, right? Right? Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
