Does YouTube premium also include ad free YouTube music like it does in the USA? I don't subscribe to a music service like Spotify because my YouTube premium subscription covers both.

Sometimes a friend (you doesn't subscribe to YouTube premium) will show me a YouTube video on their device. I find it impossible to watch YouTube without a subscription. I don't understand how the average user can tolerate the amount of ads.

I'm sort of happy that average joe shmoe can tolerate using youtube with the ads, because if everyone couldn't tolerate them as much as I can't tolerate them, then youtube would not exist.

Even if you pay for youtube you get the sponsor spiels within the videos.

I wouldn't use youtube at all without sponsorblock.
