I don't think YT should interfere. As I see it, YT is a pipe for content. If you pay for it through ads/subscription you are paying for the pipe not just the content. The content creator should be free to monetize their videos as they choose to like TV channels can show ads for a TV show.

But I'm not just paying for the pipe. Part of my money already goes to content creators.

If things were set up correctly you'd expect the content creator to want to use YT's ads. They can be personalized to the user, can change over time, etc. The fact so many embed their own ads shows some failure in the system IMHO.

Demonetization has nearly killed any channel with a whiff of controversy or edgyness... The types of videos everyone wants to watch anyway.

I'm not why you expect YouTube to skip sponsorships which are directly integrated into the video...

Also, content creators do it because brand deals are generally a big chunk of change.

As a user, I don't care how or why the ads appear - they're ads regardless.
