Key Takeaways

  • YouTube ad segments can be annoying but have a Skip option available after a few seconds.

  • Users have noticed a change in the Skip button's display, potentially leading to confusion.

  • The absence of a countdown timer in the Skip button's usual spot seems to be intentional.

    literally have not had to skip a youtube ad in years, because I use ReVanced and AdNauseam like a sane person.

    I'm going to be sad when YouTube dies, and all that collective knowledge and content either goes poof or is haphazardly, incompletely transferred to some "new thing", whenever that is -- but I won't be that sad.
