Where are you getting that from? YouTube premium is ad free (so far).

Generally an Unpopular opinion, but I think this should include creator ads (or at least an option per creator to support them by turning on their own ads).

Defaulted to off , I don't want to watch a random videos AG1 ad. That said there are a couple creators I watch I would be willing to enable theirs strictly to support them.

Because if I'm paying for ad removal it should be complete ad removal.

I don’t think it’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m not sure how YouTube can deal with it best. There’s sponsor block, but it’s relying on crowdsourced data.

Ya, just an infrastructure where their ads have to go into blocks within the video (inserted wherever but tagged as such)
