Even with premium I got a banner for YouTube premium. Due to my ad blocker the banner is empty, apart from the Premium logo, but I still got a banner.

Might be a bug, I pay for premium and I dont get this. Do you use Firefox or something else? Im using Firefox.
I use Vivaldi, a chromium based browser.
Might be worth checking on a different broswer then. That said, I know Google likes to roll out different features layouts, etc. to random users to gauge reponse so could be intentional but i doubt it.
It was just once. Normally I never see it. So must be a glitch or something. But I hate Google pushing as much ads as possible. Also when Chromecasting at a party, if 5 people have premium and 1 does not, everyone has to watch ads. When opening a YouTube video in WhatsApp, I get ads, while having premium. Whenever there's a doubt, or in a crowd of 100 only 1 doesn't have premium, it's ads ads ads for everyone! It's disgusting. A soothing sleeping video? Suddenly extremely loudly ADS! Thanks Google! Now I can't sleep anymore. I thought I had premium! Fuck you Google!
I sometimes have to refresh a page to get rid of an ad which sometimes happens even with premium. Both with chromium based browser and Firefox.
