    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. 🤷‍♂️
