> Would you rather Google police content and not allow native ads that the content producer includes?

Why not downrank such videos a little bit - just like Google attempts to downrank pages that look like made by content farms?

Since a lot of YouTube creators are very concerned about their ranking, this should decrease the problem of sponsored segments/videos a lot.

I'd be fine with it personally, but I think that'd be a really silly way to go about it. They could provide advertiser tools to the content providers that respect premium accounts. Not super hard, but here's the catch, and oooh baby is it a doozy - they have to pay fair rates for advertising. I know that's going to be hard to stomach, but if they do pay fairly, I suspect most content producers would be happier with that arrangement.
