TL;DR
YouTube appears to have removed the close button from side panel ads.
The removal of the button means that mobile ad side panels can no longer be dismissed.
YouTube is a fluid platform where changes are implemented routinely, whether it’s the rollout of new UI or features. Sometimes those changes are well received, like the fun new like button animations (https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-new-like-button-animations-3610768/), other times they’re highly controversial. The latest update will fall into that latter category.
