You occasionally still get ads, even with premium.

Same here, been using premium since it was bundled with google music when that was a thing. Aside from the creators sponsors, I never received a single ad as long as I was signed in properly to my account.

I had it for more than 5 years before abandoning it. I still got ads. I'd complain and YouTube would tell me it was a rare bug, or my browser, or the phase of the moon. They'd promise it'd never happen again and it still kept happening. I suspect it was a test to see what they could get away with.
