YouTube ads are very intrusive. But YouTube also censors and plays games with search and with promoting or hiding videos; they claim it is to maximize advertiser engagement but effectively is viewpoint discrimination.
I have largely switched to Rumble; it’s not as refined as YouTube but they don’t have most of YouTube’s dark patterns. Their ads are in search and don’t seem blockable but are not intrusive like YouTube’s.
