> If you don't want ads on youtube, just pay the $10 premium fee.

YT premium doesn't actually block the ads that creators put in their videos, SponsorBlock+AdBlock does. Give me the same functionality for 10$ in YT Premium and I will pay.

So how would you monetize YouTube with its huge infrastructure & payroll? And if everyone used something to block in-video sponsored ads, how would you monetize your hard work as a creator?

YouTube could offer a way to block sponsor segments too. If a small open source project run by one guy (super nice guy!) can do it, they can figure it out too.

The sponsor segments can be longer than any native YouTube ad so it makes YouTube premium a bit useless.
