I use and like Premium because it means I don't get any ads at all, and (majority of) that money gets divided up among the videoa I watch that month without me having to keep track of who I subscribe to etc. If a creator doesn't make any videos that interest me that month they automatically don't get any of my Premium money because I didn't watch any of their stuff.
As a user I just wish there was more transparency over where my Premium money went that month instead of "trust me bro".

On reflection, I think increasing the bitrate for Premium Enhanced 1080p videos, by around (depending on original file format) 52% to 72% (from a very quick glance by me, at an article(s) about it).  Makes Premium, significantly more tempting, especially when anyone is using better (higher resolution) monitors/TVs etc.

I'd be even more tempted, if rumours about them creating a cheaper version (tier) of the Premium subscription, with less (not sure what it loses), but at more like £7.50 per month, rather than £12.99.

Blocking adverts, has its own set of drawbacks, so not needing to do it, for YouTube, is an advantage, as well.  E.g. Some devices (or other peoples equipment, because they don't want it interfered with), don't readily support ad blocking.

If YouTube can offer, more value (benefits/advantages) for the Premium Subscriptions and/or lower its monthly cost, I'd be even more tempted to get it.

The app gives the ability to continue to play videos when your phone is locked. I use this daily.
