    But on YouTube you get both. If I could pay and not get in video sponsorship along with no ads, then I might consider it. But I will not pay to be advertised at.

      Sponsorblock is an extention which can help. It doesn’t detract from the money the creator makes and you don’t see ads for shit you dont want or can’t afford. If you don’t have premium and block ads though, you’re definitely hurting the creator and platform as a whole.

      Most creators that have in-video sponsors also have Patreons with sponsor-free feeds.
