Youtube Premium showing ads on AndroidTv

by ifndefx

I'm a Youtube Premium member, and I've started to notice that the Youtube on AndroidTv has started showing ads. I was under the impression that as a premium member you don't get ads ?

Just wondering whether anyone else is seeing this as well ?

Sometimes I get silently logged out and will see ads. When I log back in, they're gone. Are you sure you're logged-in to the proper account?

Have you created multiple channels from your premium account? I have noticed if I am not using the main account then I will see ads.

It's been happening for a couple months now. I just experienced it again over the weekend.

You could try "YouTube vanced".. Once set up no annoying ads AT ALL.. (once downloaded install the 'micro g ' file so you can then log into your YouTube account just like you would normally).. worth a shot.

Out of interest and so I can check when I'm in front of the TV, is it on an Android TV or and Android TV Box ?

It seems that in this instance OP was accidentally logged out, but for real, I've started to notice ads from time to time despite paying for Premium. Not as pre-roll video but just sitting there as a massive banner taking up half the screen on the Youtube landing page of the app. I'm using a shield so maybe it's Nvidia? Probably not though because the ad I saw specifically was for Apple TV. It's not there now, so maybe it was a mistake but I have seen it happen.

You'd probably have better luck contacting the people you're paying for the service.
