I mostly watch YouTube on a computer where somehow or other uBlock adblocker still works so don’t get any ads at all. Although chrome keeps telling me that the plugin is no longer supported.
I’ve had to tighten the purse strings as I’m currently unemployed, so have cancelled Spotify premium, YouTube premium and my VPN. Life is an ad filled hell.
Honestly, Spotify with ads is the absolute worst, it’s barely useable, and I seem to be getting ads every 8 minutes on YouTube livestreams which is hugely annoying
I use Chrome browser with AdBlock extension, have done for years, never get a single ad on Youtube or Youtube Music. I don’t get why you’d need premium? Apart from maybe for offline playing, but I’ve never needed that
I use Brave browser and had no need for youtube premium… but then I started watching a lot more on my phone and there’s no way I’m putting up with adverts in the middle of my sudoku videos.
