When the creator finds a way of writing the ad into the rest of the content I'm already there to watch in the first place it's kind of great and I applaud the creativity, like you said. Wisecrack does this really well from time to time, I forget the movie review but they snuck an ad read in there that was so relevant and fitting that when Jared (the host) copped to it at the end of the episode I had to go back and rewatch to even realize "holy cow that WAS an ad". It's less enjoyable when the content comes to a total halt mid-segment to plug this week's sponsor even though I completely understand these people are just trying to eek out some coin for the content they spent time making for me to watch.

This for sure. Though I still prefer that to the abrupt, suddenly I'm now watching an ad that's 3 times as loud as what I was watching before, it's somehow suspiciously 'relevant' to what google thinks it knows about me, and can appear without warning once, twice, maybe even 3 times in a 10-15 minute video depending on, well I'm honestly not sure what after trying to figure it out for a while now, and may or may not be skippable, depending on again, I'm not too sure what.

I'm one of the rubes who ponied up for youtube premium out of my 'fun money' funds account to get away from this. It's kind of weird, some of us asked for this "I'll happily pay to get rid of the ads", Google called that bet and dammit I folded haha.
