right, on facebook it's the same behaviour.
However, the information is not correct: on that page, in that moment there are 27 ads and not 54, ...

well, for me is a wrong behaviour ==> the user needs the real time numbers of the ads and not the summed amount of ads (if someone keeps a tab for few days he will see thousands of ads in the icon on YT or FB)

Technically it it still the same page. Though it might be irritating, on websites like Facebook and YouTube, that appear to load another web page when you click a link, while the entire website is actually a single page. But there is no way to distinguish that from web pages that update the URL while showing the same content, for example in response to form input or scrolling.

got it (if technically there is no way)
The ad counter is only reset when navigating to a different page or reloading the current page. However when you click on another video on YouTube, no navigation occurs. Instead YouTube updates the content of the web page with JavaScript and updates the URL using the history API. IMO not resetting the ad counter in that cases should be the intended behavior.
