  What's the selling point of premium if not removing ads?

    Once things like attestation roll in, if you are premium user you'll still be able to skip the add after 30s ;)

  I believe that indeed, when a large part of their users would switch to Premium, Google will start serving "light" ads to Premium as well, and will try to sell it as a Premium feature

    And regardless, they never said they wouldn't track the premium users. In fact, they've doxxed themselves to youtube by paying and painted a target on their back by signaling they have money. And it is easier to track users that have to sign in. So they double dip on money and improved tracking.
