Well, there are nuances.

If you are playing a playlist of music videos, "standard" ads ruin your playlist. And music videos don't have sponsor interruptions.

That said, the "sponsor segment" has become a staple in the YouTube channels I follow, and it is noticeable, but most authors will helpfully place it in its own segment, where you can skip it. I never watch the sponsor messages, because why would I? Ads suck.
