anyone else noticed these app changes to force more ads?

Recently, I've noticed a few things youtube has changed in the functionality of the app. 1. they are now no longer letting you scroll through youtube while ads are playing for a video, when you hold and drag it willl just move around the little boxed in video on the bottom right until you close it. 2. when you click a video, it enters into a full-screen vertical ad immediately. 3. when a video is playing, it won't let me search anymore? I can close the video, write my search, go to my history and open the previous video, minimize it, and scroll through the search results (after the ad is complete) Has anyone else seen these changes? I'm just gonna stop using it on the app if this stays on. insane behavior. the app is meant to be used, not use me. you can't continually make it worse and expect no consequences.
