Do you have watch history off? I have never experienced anything like this, but I pay for Premium.

Yes, I have watch history turned off. I suspect that gets me a different selection of ads.

Maybe it's a dark pattern to punish you for turning off personalization.

It seems plausible that if they can’t tie it to the user they have a batch of “garbage ads” that just run, cheap stuff that the worst kind of folks pay for.
