I was paying for the subscription but then they cancelled Google Music. Ad-free youtube was just a nice perk of that.

The replacement in YouTube Music premium* does not come with the bonus of no ads on youtube videos, which I think is some straight crap. I had forgot they existed, damn near.

*Unless there is another tier of subscription I haven't noticed.

Time to look into adblocker for my phone.

Nothing changed for me. I still have no ads on YouTube after my Play Music switched to YouTube Music.

Welp, that's weird. Time to do some digging I guess.

I think they actually have a support you can contact - https://support.google.com/youtube/gethelp?hl=en

Now that's weird.

No kidding! My biggest fear was that I'd be dealing with the Google Support Blackhole. Thanks so much for the link.
