is youtube premium much different to the free youtube

on the microsoft edge browser yesterday on youtube i got a message blocking me from viewing the youtube video telling me to turn off my adblockers or pay for premium...microsoft edge isn't my main browser, google chrome is and i haven't seen this message on chrome yet..

so i'm thinking it will come a time that i have to pay for premium because i despise ads full stop & don't want to put up with ads.....i love youtube and don't want my experience to change....thats why i want to know if i was to pay for premium....is it much different to the ordinary free youtube, can you still access all the same content as you can on the free youtube?
