Earlier quoted context omitted.

i still don't follow. i guess my point is, when an embedded video loads for me, youtube still knows that it's me . it gives me the same recommended videos i'd get if i were on youtube.com directly. so i assume since i pay for premium, it'd also skip ads on embedded videos too. i wouldnt know because i use ublock.

> when an embedded video loads for me, youtube still knows that it's me If/when third party cookie blocking is fully deployed, this won't be true. Your browser won't send YouTube's session cookie to YouTube when it's loaded in an iframe on an unrelated site, so YouTube won't know you're a premium user.

i appreciate the explanation! thanks!

> Youtube Premium, which uses third-party cookies to not show ads on embedded videos The third party cookies don't control ads in embedded videos, there are currently no ads in embedded videos whether you have paid for premium or not. I have a bookmarklet that converts a youtube page to an embed for this reason, for when I get sick of seeing the same couple of adverts on a loop.

I see ads in YouTube embeds all the time.

I can't say I remember doing so, unless you count sponsor segments and other inline ads like those at the end of most clips.

I certainly don't when using the inline-from-youtube-itself-via-bookmarklet trick.
