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.

    It’s funny how I’ve learned I hate ads more than I want to watch the content I’m sometimes and I end up just instantly closing the video if an ad starts.

    But that of course is only if I screw up and I’m not using ad blockers.
