YouTube Premium is a paid membership, available in certain countries, that gives you an ad-free, feature-rich (offline viewing), and enhanced experience across many of Google's video and music services, like YouTube, YouTube Music, YouTube Gaming, and YouTube Kids. At it's core, YouTube Premium is about removing advertisements. Since YouTube makes a lot of its money from ads, it can't really remove them without making you pay up. By allowing the viewer to pay, flitting between videos will no longer require waiting around for ads.

So, if you're logging in on a smart TV, you'll be able to watch videos instantly, without interruptions. For more aboute Premium, see Pocket-lint's guide.
