Are you getting ads in YouTube Premium?

Since Thursday, YouTube Premium has suddenly had ads in it. They're not the unskippable video ads, but rather are ads masquerading as videos:



I've seen a number of people here in New Zealand complaining about this, but I've yet to see any complaints from people overseas, which is making me wonder whether Google is using NZ as a testbed again.

I'm interested in hearing from Premium subscribers. Are you suddenly seeing ads in your search results, and what country are you in?

Not a premium user, but I don’t get any ads the few times I watch a video on YouTube.

iOS and iPadOS, Safari with 1Blocker.

No, I'm not on any of my devices and based in the US.

I'm a premium lite subscriber and I've seen some of these in the iPad app since last week. I assume that 1Blocker is preventing me from seeing them in browsers so far.
