Same here. I was listening to a beautiful violin piece being played by a soloist and an ad interrupted it. I would be fine with watching the ad before. I immediately went and watched it elsewhere.
Later, I came back to YouTube for something unrelated and had a message/popup that said 'tired of being interrupted? Upgrade to premium here!'
They know exactly what they are doing, trying to make it unbearable to use anything other than premium. They can get fucked.
Tired of Youtube? Try Odysee or peertube.
