It feels like a stretch to call this an ad. Does the strip of recommended movies across my homepage on desktop, which appears despite being a premium member and having adblock turned on, also count as an ad? Arguably it might be more of an ad since it's actually trying to get me to buy something, not just entice me to watch videos. Not to mention all the times I've the phrase "Get YouTube TV". I guess it comes down to personal preference and it ought to be more customizable but my point is YouTube "advertising" their own stuff to premium members has long been part of the experience.
