I ended up uninstalling the official iOS app and went to the browser with vinegar. I kept reporting these scam ads and YouTube doesn’t bother removing them. Google doesn’t care if their users are scammed because the users aren’t their customers
Unless the user actually is their customer, then they don't show them ads. ;)
Shoot, I didn’t even consider Google purposefully allowing scam and malicious advertisements as a means to sell YT premium
