Paying for YouTube does not get rid of ads. Only using sponsor block does.

The whole point of YouTube Premium is that there aren’t any ads.

There are ad reads as part of at least half of the videos I watch. Fortunately sponsorblock takes care of most of them.

I avoid sponsorship read outs by choosing the channels I spend my time on, especially if it’s mid roll. Those people are bypassing the built in ad system and deliberately placing the read out in a place where it’s annoying for you to skip.
