YouTube Music is getting creative with its ad placement

YouTube Music is among the best audio streaming services you can find today. While its Premium subscription comes bundled with plenty of benefits, a significant portion of listeners still rely on the free version of the app to get their podcasts, music, or other audio content. For a while now, YouTube Music has managed to monetize its free tier with skippable video ads in between tracks. We're now learning that the app may be testing a new static banner ad within the Now Playing screen.
