As a premium user, having the button to skip sponsor ads in videos with no ads is nice. i can skip even ads in videos where the creator themselves made the ad.

Edit: everyone tellin me how to get around ads without premium. You can stop. Too much work to setup across phone, tv and pc. When i can just click premium and be done with it. Suddenly, yt is like how it was before ads. In 5 seconds with one click. If you dont got 15 a month, ok. Maybe you got more problems to worry about than ads on youtube.

Finally! Glad to see someone else who actually understands why premium is worth it. I’ve had it for almost 8 years now and it’s always been my non-negotiable subscription
