You still get their obnoxious “screwdriver, lttstore, waterbottle” reminders in every single video.
Their 10sec in-video ads aren’t that bad, but other channels have 2min ads within 8min videos.
Which mean’s paying users still get more ads than someone with browser extensions/modified apps.
The whole thing is a race to the bottom. People use adblock because there are just too many Youtube ads.
Creators get less money from Youtube, so they resort to more and more in-video ads, and eventually SponsorBlock gets more appealing.
YouTube premium is supposed to be this, but it is apparently glitching enough that you get plenty of results for “YouTube premium still showing ads” web searches, and it does nothing against sponsor spots.
I would shut up if Google implemented a sponsor block feature for premium users, and fixed their ads showing to (too many) premium subscribers. Buy they don’t. As it stands, paying for premium to get rid of ads is as efficient as using DoNotTrack (which is effectively just added data for fingerprinting).
YouTube premium is exactly that though, isn’t it? Not that I agree with either side, just trying to comprehend

Yeah, I’ve generally liked LTT’s approach to ads since it means I can hit the right arrow key twice to skip the ad entirely but I hear you for sure.
