Is it legal for YouTube to show you ads even if you paid for YouTube Premium ? You pay 150 to 200 USD per year to not get any ads on YouTube, but still, in practice you get ads at the beginning of videos (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F98wUD4A8QU). These ads are baked inside the feed by the YouTube content creators and YouTube is aware of it. To me it sounds like charging a subscription that doesn't deliver its basic functionality ? I'm intrigued.
