> Maybe Google needs a way to "recommend" reviews

I would say "please don't give them any ideas", but I already ignore YouTube recommendations anyway, so that wouldn't actually bother me.

However, if YouTube found a sneaky way to get ads in front of me regardless of my premium membership, that would eliminate the entire value of the premium membership. And, for me, it would reduce the value of YouTube enough to get me to finally ditch YouTube once and for all.

Which might not be a bad thing, really.
