I feel this. I always attribute this to modern ads (on many streaming with YouTube being one of my least favorite) were planned around. Youtube and other services will just spam ads. You get an ad so frequently and it just happens whenever they want. It ruins what I'm watching when in the middle of a sentence or thought just ends because of an ad.
I remember a time where YouTube videos used to have creators trying to plan ad breaks in their videos and other devices gave you the "this ad is longer so we play them less frequently." We don't get that today and it drives me up a wall.
