Youtube premium is still ad-free. There is a Youtube premium lite which is kinda-ad-free-but-not-really, but the full ad-free one still exists.

basically, yeah. there's a white fast forward button that appears during frequently fast forwarded sections, which unsurprisingly happens to be sponsor sections.

??? I've been on youtube premium / redtube since the beginning and I've been served 1 ad incorrectly in that time.

YouTube Premium was originally called YouTube Red. Grandparent poster may have made a Freudian slip. :)

I know, I was just being... sassy. Partly because I didn't actually need to google it.

YouTube Red was the previous name of YouTube Premium, probably renamed because of the unfortunate name clash you just noticed.
