Some podcasters seem to have have realized this problem and are curating ads better. Also with almost all the ones I listen to, the ads are presented live by the host, not pre-recorded by an annoying voice actor, which makes them a bit more bearable. There are also a couple of youtubers who've found creative ways to integrate and connect ads to what they're presenting, one channel has perfected this to the point that I actually enjoy watching the ads because he finds really funny ways of presenting them. So it's definitely possible to make it better.

Corridor Crew on YouTube does this very well.

They are a lovely gang of VFX people. Highly recommend watching some of their videos to anyone who hasn’t.

Which channel is that? Among channels that I have watched in the past, Internet Historian has done this very well.
I’ll bet five bucks it’s Linus tech tips.
LTT isn’t terrible, but Jay Foreman is more likely in my experience.

He makes his own (creative) original content for his sponsorships.

"Internet Comment Etiquette" is the best example of this, never have I consistently laughed at advertisements before.
Yeah. Some Youtubers have gotten so sly with their integration that once I realize that I'm in an ad I also realize that they started teeing it up 30 seconds earlier. I admire the craft of that type of transition.

And then I skip it. Unless the presentation is compelling and interesting for it's own sake.

is the entertaining ads channel perhaps Aging Wheels? His ad skits have been great
