It doesn't bother me, but I don't care either, so I just skip them.

Kind of, but I understand how it's ended up this way.
The main thing that annoys me is I have Youtube Red specifically to support the creators without having to see ads, and I end up seeing them anyway

Its annoying. Adblock unfortunately isnt advanced enough (yet?) to detect an ad integrated directly into a video.

No, especially not on any of the channels I watch. As it's usually a quick blurb of leas than 5 seconds at the start and potentially a longer bit at the end I can skip.

"This video was brought to you by some damn thing you don't care about" is still preferable to "Hey youtube it's anime-reference-and-some-numbers! Be sure to like and subscribe" - always.

Ya, it depends on how clever they are about it.
If they name drop ever min or so, it's a turnoff.

I don't like them because they tend to also have ads on their videos and a Patreon. I just find it a scummy thing to do. However, it's easy to skip those ones. You can't skip the actual ads, so I just Ad Block them

This. Besides a few exceptions (Drift0r's Astro headset skits are fun) I just skip them and don't look back.

Usually in the comment section someone provides the time stamps to skip

It's death by a thousand cuts.

I don't mind a paid promo but when most of the video consists of two ads ahead of time, one in the middle, a lengthy "channel update" about going on vacation next week or adjusting the length of videos, a full minute of "like comment subscribe ring the bell tell your friends do a backflip", a thank you to patreon people and a plead for money on pateron AND there's a paid promo, it makes me want to not watch this channel anymore.

If they keep it short, relevant, and only at the beginning and end, I don't care much.

Mid-video ads, I will drop a channel forever.
