    Ah YouTube, the site where I watch a video that tells me in ten minutes what I could read in one. And only 5 advertisements!

    Oops, six. I forgot the ad the creator slipped in between minute 1 and 2.

      Recommend hitting ‘4’ (40%) straight away on how to videos, its usually the start of showing you how to do the thing.

      I used SponsorBlock for a while and it worked pretty well. It crowdsources where the ads are in a video and you can choose to skip them automatically.

      How can you possibly forget the mid-video ad read that is actually a part of the video, thus unblockable?
