Oh let me splain that, it's not what you think silly!
This goes against all the fundamental principles of how the Internet is supposed to work.
It really doesn't, they can do whatever they want with their website.

I don't understand how people can think getting a paid service for free shouldn't be fought against by the company losing money from the workaround.
I'm a subscriber of YouTube Premium and I still get loads of ads. On the right sidebar I get offered to buy movies and TV shows, sponsored segments everywhere, etc. I'm literally using ad blockers on top of my Premium subscription because everything got out of hand. I even use ReVanced on my phone because of its SponsorBlock integration.
If Google continues to fail to read the room, I may cancel the subscription, move all my video needs to Piped and Nebula, the latter I also have a paid subscription for. How is that in Google's interest?
I'm also a subscriber of Premium and have my adblocker turned on. Google still tracks you just as much as without Premium

Obviously. You're still visiting a Google service after all.
You definitely have the right to block and skip whatever you want if you pay for the service.
