YouTube question [View all]

Our family already has a Spotify subscription but I just checked and it seems nearly all of the people discussed in this forum are on YouTube only. Same for the political people I follow. Thus I use YouTube a LOT.

But YouTube has become unbearable with ads lately for me. I would gladly sit through 5 minutes of ads if the program itself was uninterrupted, but the multiple ads throughout are what I'm finding unbearable. Mainly because I often listen when I'm cutting grass, taking a shower, and other things when it's not easy to press "skip" ad and thus ads go on and on and on. lol

Are any of you experiencing the same with YT? Do any of you have Premium and, if so, is it truly ad free or at least no interruptions during the program? I know it says ad free but I've also seen something where it says not all creators subscribe to the ad-free model so there may still be ads.

TIA
