May I ask why you pay for it?

I pay for most services I use, from companies I want to support. YouTube, I use it all the time but it's just google, they have more money than they'll ever need.

So I have Unlock origin installed, which skips ads, and Sponsor Block, which automatically skips sponsor segments within the videos. It works great, sometimes there's a little glitch as it hard cuts from before to after, sometimes you wouldn't know you skipped it except for the tiny indicator. You can leave self sponsored content on so you are still in the loop and can support creators you like.

If you use chrome both these things can be installed, free, in minutes, from the app store, no weird pirating download or confusing installation.

I know lots of people have YouTube through a smart tv or something, but in case you don't, or need to save the cash, this works great. Make sure to support the creators though instead with any cash you can afford to spend.

Just went back to reading the comments and I see this YouTube TV isn't just what Americans call YouTube premium. Hope you can find a work around or discount friend.
