The video creators decide how many ads are on their video. YouTube is a heavy influence on that decision, but the number and timing of ads is up to the creators.

Really? I have trouble believing they'd insert ads at the worst moments possible.

They do. The youtube studio thing automatically inserts a shitload of ad breaks by default, but channels have the option to customize it. When you see a video with annoying ad breaks, it's because the creator didn't choose to remove them.
