    I have grandfathered in YouTube premium from like 10 years ago because of a business cell phone promotion deal. I have not seen a single ad yet.

      This is something new they’re testing primarily in EU. There are plans to separate the premium into tiers and one tier will have ads. Even in the US, there are currently ads in your home feed such as product placement videos. When I contacted support about this, they told me they knew they were ads, it’s just that it does not interfere with watching videos. Disgusting fucking company.
