(upside down watching not required)
This is a good question, thanks for asking and I'm sorry you had to sit through an inappropriate ad. At this point I've been turning off overlay ads on new videos as well as turning off unskippable pre-roll ads (like the one you watched) for the first 24 hours or so of new videos, so if you watch right away you don't have to see ads (or at least you can skip them).
I don't have a set number goal for turning off all ads for the first week a video is live, and one potential issue is that a lot of patrons put a cap on their monthly contributions, so the full amount listed on the patron page (minus transaction costs and patreon.com's cut) is only for one video/month, any additional videos receive a significantly lower level of pledges.

I second Lightbow's question.

Sorry to comment on packaging rather than content, but I was surprised to see one of the longest, raciest YouTube advertisements I've ever seen before what's supposed to be a kid-friendly educational video. I'm not offended or anything, but if I were to have the same experience in front of a classroom of kids, I'd be totally fired. I thought the point of Patreon subscriptions was to cut the need for stuff like this. How much money would you need to raise per video (either on Patreon, or via corporate sponsorship) to cut out ads entirely?
