I tried this, but it didn't work on the vast majority of videos I watch. They always seemed to have some or the other product placement inside. So I stopped paying, and installed a couple of adblockers.

How do adblockers help with native product placement?

Or are you saying you might as well not pay for premium if you'll still have to deal with the product placement anyway?

A combination of ublock origin and sponsorblock will make youtube completely ad free. Even the in video adverts are gone.

You can pay for YouTube Premium and still use sponsorblock.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of sponsorblock. Thanks!
