I think the constant obnoxious YT Premium ads are a big reason for the animosity. That and that it doesn't feel like an option. They really increased the amount of ads so it fells like an extortion - pay or suffer.
Most YT ads are abhorrent and incredibly repetitive. Awful music and a piercing voice. I very quickly develop loathing for the brand I see on YT ads.
The worst adverts on youtube are those long pseudo-documentary ads about the unusual backstory of some radical new inexpensive device that is going to change some industry and doctors/oil companies would prefer you didn't know about. The ones with the AI voices.
