I don't always click on a YouTube ad, but when I do it's a UI failure because it's an accidental click. How much do you want to bet this crackdown is a distraction from the fact their ad system doesn't perform as well as advertised?
Or it's just straight up hostile UI. They started camouflaging ads to blend in really well with random search results now! Infuriating.

Ok now that you point it out that's gotta be intentional lol.
Behold, the wonders of the modern world! ...which we must constantly fight and remain suspicious of as they attempt to manipulate or screw us at every turn.
