What country are you in? I have YouTube Premium and I don't get _any_ ads at all from YouTube, only the sponsored segments from creators directly (and no, NordVPN, I don't need a VPN, yes I know you exist).

These are ads.

  There are extensions to skip those.

    Yes sponsorblock, which I cited above. But at this point, why pay for YouTube premium? If I have to install sponsorblock, I might as well install uBlock origin and get a better user experience for free.
    - xboxnolifes 3y ago
      The point is, uBlock origin is supposedly not going to work with the new system. You claimed that there "will be no way to avoid ads", which is strictly untrue. Youtube Premium + sponsorblock is the counterpoint.

        And my point is I don’t pay to have to install another extension. If uBlock doesn’t work anymore, either I’ll use YouTube-flow/yt-dlp, or I’ll stop using YouTube altogether. I’m ok to pay for services, but paying and still getting ads is my hard limit.

    so those ads are cool to skip?

  They aren't Google's ads.
  - thiht 3y ago
    They’re still ads which I don’t want to see

      Blame the creators you watch

        Why should they? YouTube Premium literally says ad-free. Not my problem how Google moderates their videos. They’re pretty efficient in demonetizing videos or entire channels for a couple of swear words or god forbid a nipple somewhere, but taking a mental dump in my head with some useless shit that I don’t care about is apparently fine.

Youtube won't take my money even if I wanted to give it to them. I've got no credit card nor the desire to get one, and it's the only payment method accepted.

They're likely referring to creator ads spliced into their content.
