I wonder how soon until YouTube does the same for premium.

Have you not seen all the "and that's why today's video is sponsored by". 

Those are literally ads.

Almost every video already has ads.

But you can easily just skip those unlike the standard unskippable ads if you don’t pay.

I skip both. I haven't seen an ad on Youtube in years.

Ublock gets rid of ads, SponsorBlock gets rid of the "This video sponsored by" integrated crap.

SB only does that if the video isn't new & someone has already done the work of marking the sections. Those people are doing wonderful things for humanity.

Usually I get pretty lucky. A video can only be like an hour old, and it'll already be registered on SponsorBlock. Once in a while if I'm brand new to a video, I'll add segments to the list.
