YouTube lets you pay about $20 per month for no ads. The money is divided among the creators of the content you watch. These creators noticed you weren't being frustrated by ads, so they added ads back in to their videos. Now for no ads you need SponsorBlock as well.

Yt premium comes with its own sponsor block. Its also $14/mo.

SponsorBlock does much more than premium "skip ahead"

Yep, and it not only skips ads, but also intros / outros / unpaid promos, etc.
