>By subscribing to Premium, you make that job easier for them than when you browse the web without signing in to YouTube, and by extension, Google.
That has nothing to do with paying for YouTube Premium, but rather, with having signed in with the browser into the Google account, and using that to browse the internet as well. There are many cases where this doesn't happen. For example, if the user logs in on their phone, or smart tv, or uses separate browsers or Firefox Containers or such on PC. Also, google tracks without logging in at all, via Analytics, and by other means as well. Premium is the least of the concern here.
>Come on, let's not resort to baseless shaming and blame shifting.
Nah, you come on. Those ads were embedded in the video stream by the content creator, were they not? The onus is entirely on the uploader.
YT Premium is not charity, but a rather cheap subscription to a great service. It makes the Google ads go away, and with that, lifts a mental burden, because advertising is often plain evil.
