Interesting, I feel there is a difference, but I cannot quite put my finger on it. Ads on most websites feel more obtrusive. Maybe it's because on websites, there is a spatial separation, but in videos it is temporal? I can look at the video without the sponsored content constantly trying to grab my attention. It is just a certain window of time, where the content also does not continue, so it is relatively easy to tune out? Never mind the fact that I can skip over it if it is terrible sponsored content?

"Ad blindness" is a thing It's like I don't get upset by crappy stock photos or navigation bars, but would give up on a website that took 30 seconds to load...
