Genuinely though, the point of YouTube premium is to get rid of the ads...

We seem to be making cable TV again where you pay a premium for the privilege of being advertised to

YT Premium has no ads. YT Lite does, just fewer of them (supposedly).

YouTube Premium Lite is Premium, it's in the name. I presume the OP is saying the only reason people buy Premium is to be rid of ads, therefore Lite is pointless.
