Even if you pay for premium, YouTube will always be an ad platform
I don't think that's true.
No.
I believe you missed/ignored a few facts in your screed:
1. Ads are a malware surface
2. Ads are used to pass misinformation and other harmful content
Google is failing to perform its due diligence as an ad platform for both sides of the ad two-sided market.
Ergo, my browser connection will continue to use its condoms.

Further, Google paid for little to any content creation that is loaded to YouTube. $14 subscription for hosting the median watcher's content is extreme. Charge the content creators for hosting as they are the beneficiaries with in-video subscription advertisements.
That's not true. They've paid tens of billions of dollars to content creators. Just back of the envelope calculation YouTube probably pays out more for content per year than Netflix.
How do you even expect someone to argue with you?
Youtube ads, Which is what we are talking about, are not.
>2. Ads are used to pass misinformation and other harmful content
This is a small percentage of ads.
It's up to the viewer to decide how to act on it.
It follows the same pattern of those Google searches that pop up like 'what are some of the benefits of xyz' written by someone with 0 scientific knowledge, on a page with 0 references to studies. It is merely there as filler content to lure people to the website.
