    I'm not going back to using Premium until in-video sponsorships are gone! I'm not gonna pay money and then still get ball shavers advertised to me.

      I don't advise you get Premium, but I do recommend you download the free extension Sponsorblock (works on android too). It auto skips in-video sponsored segments.

      In-video sponsorships are almost certainly never going to be gone for every channel, and definitely not as a part of premium since those sponsorships are done voluntarily by creators. As another said, the sponsorblock extension works great, find creators that dont do sponsors, or just skip manually.

      The egregious amount and length of in-video sponsorships are why I cancelled YouTube premium.

      Ad-free should mean ad-free.

      get premium with Indian vpn for 1€/month, get browser extension to skip all BS segments like intros, outros, sponsorships or whatever -> enjoyable experience
