Honestly that's the uploader's fault. They're too lazy to manage their ad locations and let Google do it for them. Google always adds way too many. I make sure my videos never have more than 3 in 30 minutes, and I craft the videos so that they have precise break points like old school television. You'll (almost) never see an ad on my videos that interrupts something important. It takes so little effort to do this.

No, let's not shift the blame away from the ad provider setting the enormously high ad rate.
