I’m not getting some of the app install nagware, but I’m also not getting them when I disable content blockers so it may just be a cookie thing. Also I couldn’t manually block the nagware on the NBC site using the share extension.

I only use YouTube mostly for official AWS videos and then I use CornerTube. I usually don’t see ads. Do content producers get to choose when ads are shown?

That's my understanding. Also a mostly non-YouTube user though, I find the web interface really unpleasant - if I were going to "use" it on a regular basis I'd probably use youtube-dl.
