Still doesn't protect you from in-video sponsorships (skullshare, OstVPN, etc.), product placements, etc. Some creators especially do these because it protects them from platform demonetization risk.

Same shit with paying for cabletv & movie theatre tickets. If anything, people that pay are their most valuable targets for ads.

Even a newspaper that I sub to runs ads and a zillion trackers against me. Ugh.

I get where you're coming from, but the platform could more to protect paying members from this. E.g. creators with over $x revenue must tag promos so the platform ships them for paying users
