I'd gladly pay for YouTube without ads if I trusted that it would remain ad free, but the track record from various companies on this is not good.

Youtube premium has been ad-free for 10 years. What kind of track record do you need? 20 years? 100 years?

It has never been ad-free, sponsored segments have always existed

you should blame the creators for being greedy, not YouTube for that

YT sets the rules of what content is allowed and sets the level of deception in their marketing regarding this "ours vs theirs" distinction in ads, so feel free to blame it as well.
