I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and watching additional content is harder.

This is good progress from Google to get off their platform :)

I haven’t been on YouTube in over a month but it’s because the ads were getting way out of control.

Not sure what your platform of choice is but unlock origin for firefox or youtube revanced for phone are 2 great ways to remove ads.

I use YouTube every day and haven't see an ad once.

Then you're definitely using adblocker or Premium. Because YouTube shows ads before (and sometimes after also) almost every video these days.
