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

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.

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.
