I've had Premium since whenever it was first introduced (a decade at this point?) and I've never seen a youtube-provided ad during that time, assuming I'm logged into the appropriate account.
I had it for a long time too and never did until maybe… idk 2 months ago? And they only show up on specific videos that have shows/movies associated with it.
So in this case, I was watching game grumps play peppa pig (would recommend lol) and it showed me this right under the vid.
Huh. 98% of my youtube consumption is on either TV or phone apps at this point, though, so they really wouldn't have a place to put something like that. Or maybe they would and I just haven't watched anything that would have it. Who knows.
Paramount Plus definitely likes shoving a 30 second ad before your show even on the ad-free plan, though...
