See, I don’t really mind the sponsored segments. Some creators actually have fun with their ad reads, like the Map Men or Colin Furze. But if it’s boring I just tap the forward button on my Apple TV remote and skip past.

If I'm paying for premium, I just don't want ads! But they keep trying to shove it down my throat regardless

Different ads though. One is from YouTube and one is from the creator.

Exactly. In my opinion, that's Google's biggest mistake, and I can't believe some people are okay with it. Everyone attacks YouTube as if they are the biggest villains, but let's not forget that without them, most creators would be nothing. Most people here are aware of how difficult it is to maintain such a platform, yet they are unrealistic with their attacks. And yes, I am someone who has LineageOS installed, which says enough about what I think of Google, but sometimes you have to be fair. If they banned creators from having ads within their videos, I might even consider paying for premium.
