I don't think there's a way to prevent this through any configuration.  It appears that after you watch a certain number of videos, they force you to watch an ad, which is why it isn't always on the other videos.

The way to fix this would be to have a (paid) account which allows hosting of ad-free videos, perhaps with tudou.com or another site which is available in China.  I am not able to tell if this is possible with tudou because I cannot read the web site.

I'll reach out to the team to see if anybody has any ideas.

The consensus on this appears to be that the advertisement is somewhat expected by Chinese visitors and we don't need to ensure the videos to be completely ad-free.
