At least in my case, the SquareSpace/NordVPN/Audible/etc ads aren't preroll - they're embedded in the middle of the video by the content creators. Which is really irritating, because I DO pay for YouTube premium... (by way of GPM All Access, grandfathered in)

Yes, that's supremely annoying. But, at least that sort of advertising doesn't track you, and given that YouTube has seriously restricted the ability for content creators to monetize using YouTube mechanisms themselves, I cut them a little slack on this.
