Are there truly no ads? Have been putting it of thinking it just removes the google injected ads, but keeping all the promotions and such

  There are no ads at all provided by YouTube. Obviously Google can't prevent content creators from embedding their own ads, which is becoming increasingly common.

    Sponsorblock[1] works pretty well for the creators’ advertisements. [1] https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock

      I use this when I'm watching Youtube on a computer, but that's by far the minority of my usage.

        Adblock availability is the reason I watch exclusively on a laptop.

          You can also watch on mobile using FF instead of the app

    > Obviously Google can't prevent content creators from embedding their own ads Of course they could, just make it part of the service agreement. I would feel much inclined to pay for youtube if they filtered out all ad-funded content. Even better, they could have a model where content creators for the paid service got their piece of the revenue based in quality metrics rather than quantity metrics.
