How long before YouTube Premium starts to show ads? Netflix already does it.

I thought Netflix only showed ads to a cheaper plan, not their higher priced plan.

If YouTube Premium starts showing ads, I'd stop watching YouTube entirely. Which might not be a terrible thing.

YouTube is the only Google service that I haven't stopped using entirely. Getting rid of it would be good, but there isn't anything else I've found that can really replace it.
