YT premium is one of those things I'm pretty happy to pay for, because I know the creators I watch are getting much more money per view from me versus someone who watches with the ads.
The actual lack of ads is just a massive bonus since I would have been able to block them anyway. (Well, until this change)
Also, that and I'm one of the 5 people out there actually using YouTube music rather than Spotify

Me who uses piped and all:
Must say I'm glad they're doing this. Helps me stay off the platform and be more productive after the 3 videos, and requires me to plan which 3 videos I want to watch. If all addictive platforms had these self-moderating features, I'd definitely use them.
