> I dislike the attitude of those who reject ads but also refuse to pay

And I dislike YouTube's hostile ad escalation in recent years. One ad - fine, two ads - hmmm, three ads - what the hell. Unskippable ads. Inappropriate ads. Loud-ass eardrum ripping ads. Ads even on Premium.

I have premium but don’t see any ads, except the sponsorships of the creators themselves. Which is a bit annoying but not a lot YouTube can do about.

I don't know maybe auto skip on them for premium users? I have an extension that does just that, surely google can do it too

They've tried? It seems like it would be pretty easy to detect ad sequences in larger channels.

And even if you get rid of the ads, the sponsored content is not going anywhere.
