If this goes live, I'm out. YT premium is my most expensive subscription, but I watch enough YouTube that I'm OK with it, especially considering that it supports creators more than ad viewers. If I still get ads? Nah dawg. I'll divy up that money amongst patreons or whatever, and install add blockers.

It is just YT testing new exciting features, nothing to worry about.
Yeah I stopped paying for premium once I’d figured out using Safari on my phone with an ad blocker works with YouTube still lol
I use Firefox with ublock on my phone and I get no ads. Or I watch them in Newpipe.
A/b testing or code error?
With Alphabet, I treat anything related to delivering more ads as intentional.
This is normal, nothing to see here... except these wonderful ads!! - YouTube
This is why I stopped paying them. Fuck them, you're just an source of income to them.
Side loading works great for this and it's free

I guess they are premium ads?
