It would be really nice if YouTube could give uploaders the ability to schedule ad slots, rather than them appearing randomly.
Unless they do this already and stuff I watch just does it badly, of course.

You might have to be a YouTube partner or something like that to make use of this stuff, though.
You need at least 1000 subscribers and a certain amount of video watch time per year to qualify, but even fairly small channels can meet this bar. When people talk about getting monetized on YouTube, this is what they mean.
That seems like a good opportunity for a neural net feature that's smarter than simple scene cut detection. While most theatrical films lack many good spots for commercial breaks, there are certainly a lot of "less bad" spots. Sadly, I doubt YT will bother since they no longer seem to care about viewer experience in recent years.
