Clearly they are referring to the ad-free plan, not the cheaper ad-subsidized plan.

If you do, you don’t see pre-roll and mid-roll ads. You still see embedded ads, sponsor mentions, “all the tools we used are linked below”, etc.

That's on the video creator, not YouTube. Just tell them to stop or you won't watch their videos anymore.

Society used to have the wisdom to plant trees for its children to sit under. On the whole I think I like that attitude a lot better than this "apres moi, le deluge" thinking we see so much of now.
