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.

  • YouTube doesn't show ads in my country but I still prefer not to use the official app because it sounds "heavy" to me

    • Wait, how does YouTube make money? What country are you in?

      • They probably make money from sharing my data with 3rd parties , though it's not as benefitical as the data of someone in other countries I live in Syria

    • The biggest insult Youtube could get. A person refusing to use it even when it had zero ads because it was heavy.

      But, yes I agree Youtube mobile app is inefficient and reloads losing my place. Unfortunately, I have the same issue with grayjay making even that one a non-starter.
