YouTube premium is supposed to be this, but it is apparently glitching enough that you get plenty of results for "YouTube premium still showing ads" web searches, and it does nothing against sponsor spots.
I would shut up if Google implemented a sponsor block feature for premium users, and fixed their ads showing to (too many) premium subscribers. Buy they don't. As it stands, paying for premium to opt-out from ads is as efficient as using
DoNotTrack
(which is effectively just added data for fingerprinting) to opt-out from tracking. It makes you part of the problem when you clearly intend to be part of the solution. 🤷♂️You can make a Google search and find almost anything, just because a handful of people claim to have an issue doesn't mean that there really is one. You can find issues with any service. This point is incredibly overblown. Also if you sign up for premium and it's still showing you ads you can contact support or cancel it. That said, I've had premium for a couple years now and have never seen an ad. I mostly use it because we watch a lot of YouTube on our Roku and there is no way around ads on that without premium.

Huh. I've had Premium for years and never once had it show me ads anyway. Crazy that other people have.
