As I mentioned in another comment, it’s still a commercial offering, that happens to have a free tier. Would we be okay with a YouTube link in the same spot?
Honestly, it doesn’t bother me that much. It’s more that you can see a more and more corporate-y trend in Canonical’s decision making, which I personally don’t really care for. If I used Ubuntu with the default shell I’d probably just override the MOTD and go on with my life.
Ubuntu Pro seems to be free for regular users (on up to five machines).
Would bother me a lot more if it wasn’t a free service. Now it’s ehh

Like, promoting Youtube or just a link to a Youtube video promoting Ubuntu Pro or what do you mean?
A link promoting any other commercial product with a free tier. Like AWS, or YouTube.
I wouldn’t be really bothered if Google promoted Youtube in their product. I’d expect it, really.
