Yeah, I'd need more breaks than that. An average 2.5 minutes of Graham Norton between breaks is a bit much!
Though more seriously, when I get sick of the adverts, which is fairly soon, I just leave. There is very little, if anything, on youtube that I can't live without watching, I'm usually only there because of a link posted by friends/family or in an open forum. Other uses, like film/TV trailers tend to be embedded and there are less (no?) adverts that way.
Of course I'm likely not the target audience so they are not going to miss my attention much, but if enough people could resist the attention sink enough to just leave after a couple of adverts, perhaps there would not be so many of them before+during+after each clip. The adverts tend to be of low relevance too (often things like “this miraculous heater” scams, or yet another blast from Temu). When they claim tracking means you get more relevant adverts, this doesn't mean you get less adverts if they don't have anything relevant in the paid-impressions-waiting-to-be-used queue, you'll just get a few maybe relevant adverts per 1,000 instead of less, you'll still get the 1,000 with the remainder being less than relevant.
