I've never seen an ad from YouTube with premium. Creators inserting ads into their own videos are outside of YouTubes control

  Ah okay. Maybe there is confusion between their YT Music premium and the "video" premium. Some also seem to be saying that sponsored content is what they're referring to.

  “Sponsorblock” is a crowdsourced tool that helps take care of creator ads: https://sponsor.ajay.app/ https://sponsor.ajay.app/ Yt-dlp can also make use of it.

    I just avoid any creator that is spamming their videos with sponsors. For example I have zero problem with how Gamers Nexus does their sponsor bits and it's just not worth trying to block them.

  Not really. YouTube can simply say "you must tell us when the sponsored ad starts and stops", and skip over those. Creators who don't do that can face demonitization and having their videos removed from the recommender for premium users. They have all sorts of rules that content creators must follow or it hurts the creator's bottom line - I don't see how this would be different.

    Is YouTube gonna compensate the creators for that lost in Revenue, drastically increase the price of premium or just force them to leave YouTube? Adam Ragusea has a good break down [1] of how making money with YouTube works and your plan ruins the economics of being a creator.

      Maybe the world needs fewer career creators then.
      • wnevets 3y ago
        then the usefulness of YouTube and its premium services deceases.

        You always have the power to not watch those channels. If they lose viewership, and thus income, then there will be fewer creators.
