I've never had premium, mostly out of spite after the forcing ads on unmonetized creators and removing the dislike count, once I was able to afford it. But I've seen some other post on Lemmy with the "products you may like" appearing on a premium account.

I've seen people getting a "products you may like" in the suggestions, with premium. There is no way to remove that (other than uBlock origin)
It's not just that, it's also random content totally outside of your interest (I watch gaming and motorcycle content and it tries to feature some foreign holiday celebration videos lol) and worse, "products you may like."
If I pay this kind of money, I expect an API to user-respecting third party apps.
That's what they should do. Allow use of Reddit-style third party apps (before the API debacle) for premium users.
It's not about paying, it's about still getting these stupid featured pop-ups after paying.
This is the true reason why I don't have YouTube premium. This is quite an awful experience for a supposedly premium subscription. Why pay for premium if the experience is better using free methods?
Please corporations, treat paying subscribers well.
I currently have a '06 Suzuki GZ250. I got it 3 months ago and already have put 1600 miles on it.
I'm already getting the itch for a faster motorcycle, though. I first test rode a Harley Davidson Sportster 48, which was fun and tourquey but kind of heavy and not as comfortable as I expected (Harley = cruiser = comfortable so I thought). I then made the decision (mistake?) of test riding a Triumph Trident 660, and holy crap that was so much fun, I need it in my life lol even though I can't afford it.
I also had an unexpected "adventure" getting stuck in the mud recently when trying to go off the beaten path. Dual sports have way too high seat heights for me but maybe I should get an ADV bike?
God help me the day I try a supersport bike. Make sure I don't submit to squid-dom...
Forza Horizon 5. I like to just drive around the map for a while, and maybe do a race or two, until I inevitably get bored after an hour or so. Repeat every week.
(until I bought a real life motorcycle to scratch that itch, and no, I'm not racing or being dangerous on my motorcycle)
When I get a bit more space to myself, I'm thinking of somehow wall mounting a 42"-50" 4K TV and using that as a work monitor. Or maybe I don't need a wall mount. I'd have what feels like acres of screen real estate.
This is my biggest concern about video games when I become a parent. My parents were far more concerned about "violence," but I'd rather have a 10yo child play doom than candy crush. One might initially look more dangerous to the untrained eye, but looks can be deceiving.
My 2nd monitor. It's some 24" curved 165Hz 1080p monitor that I bought from a guy at my university for $105. While not the best for gaming (noticable ghosting), it's been incredibly helpful for work as it gets more complicated in university. The extra screen real estate lets me fit so much more without needing to alt tab or click on another window.
That is two very different things. One is a terrorist group, the other are just humans trying to live their lives in safety. Same with Israel. The people are humans trying to live their lives in safety, but Netenyahu is incredibly corrupt and reports show that he is secretly propping up Hamas.
