They promised the same thing with cable TV when it was new.

They did? Who are "they"? Certainly not Google or Youtube. Do you now not pay for anything because "they may be lying"?

"They" are the people who promised no ads in return for a subscription. They're all cut from the same cloth. And no, I don't pay for anything that promises no ads in return for a subscription. The cable companies taught us not to believe that lie decades ago.
