on the rare case that i watch YouTube on tv, if it’s at the beginning, i just quit the video and restart over and over again until i see a 5 sec skip. sometimes it takes longer than the ads would’ve taken but I’d rather do that than take it on the chin to be honest. I’m also hoping others do it too so maybe they get some telemetry data.
and if it’s in the middle of the video i just quit. if it’s important enough i can just watch it on my phone or PC without ads.
