I have been signed up for YouTube Premium for a long time (and Red before that). I never see ads as a result and I support the platform and it’s creators.

Same. I watch at least 60 hours of Youtube every week. Either in the background or actively watching. I don't mind paying for a service that I am constantly using. I know I'm likely in the minority, but it's something I don't mind paying.
