Yeah, I'd rather have 90 seconds of silence than be blasted by ads for any amount of time. I generally tolerate in-video ad reads (though if I'm actively watching, I'll skip past them) but I have zero patience for any other kind.
I'm just gonna go back to reading books. I already watch videos at 2x+ speed with cc on just to skip the drivel, and books are just better at conveying info, they don't require power or web, and I can keep them forever without them getting suddenly edited and can even lend them to friends.
The good content creators even make their ad reads entertaining. Count Dankula and Internet Historian have convinced me to check out several products on account of being funny about the ad reads (or, rather, the sponsors allowing them to be funny about the ad reads made me willing to check out their products).

At least with sponserships, the creator actually gets the support directly. Not hoovered up into Google
