You still get ads with YouTube Premium though…
Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker

Not the vibe here by the look of the comments but for me YT premium is worth it. There’s a lot of great stuff on YouTube and it’s nice watching it all ad free in HD on my TV without ads. I realize hosting, streaming, and producing that content isn’t free and I don’t mind supporting it.

Do payouts for creators increase if people that watch them have premium? If not you are not buying it for the good content but for the service infrastructure

you are […] buying it […] for the service infrastructure
Which in and of itself is fine, I suppose. 👍 Depending on the price, of course.

From what most creators I’ve seen who talk about it say, premium users are worth more than ad supported users. There are more ad supported users overall than paying premium subscribers though. Pushing people to a more predictable subscription service would benefit YouTube by making it less dependent on advertisers and not as affected by ad blockers so I can unfortunately see why they are considering changes like this.

Does that include Sponsorblock? Otherwise you still see ads, just from the content creators and not from YouTube.

Yeah true, those are skippable though
