There are no ads when I use YT premium, except for the creators' Hello Fresh type segments. Which perhaps they'd be less incentivized to pursue if people didn't use ad blockers.

It depends on the Premium tier.

You mean just Premium Light? Still has no ads on videos.

Just sponsored shorts and banners when browsing. But we're talking about videos here.

Shorts and music, for now. They'll undoubtedly expand it to all videos eventually.

SponsorBlock will help you to get rid of those!
