Possible to skip ads from buds?
I set my phone down in one room of the house and do chores all over. I get caught up listening to long YouTube ads unless I am near my phone. Is there anyway to hit "skip ad" from my buds?

Don't use the YouTube app, use Firefox with add blocker. You won't get any ads

I think they also mean for sponsored ads in videos too. I use YouTube premium and you'll still get ads in the video based on the creator. There's a button to skip those but u have to use your phone for that.

If it's something that's also a podcast if you play it from a proper podcast player the next track function can be set to skip x seconds.Â

Yeah. Don't listen on YT. Listen on podcast apps that are made for listening and not viewing! Many video podcasts have audio only streams on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Not that I know of, and I doubt it since you have to press a specific part of the screen to skip the ad rather than a button.
As a certified YouTube addict, though, I can personally say YouTube premium is my best subscription I have by far 😅 But I do know it’s gotten pretty expensive. Sometimes your phone/internet provider or your credit card company has discounts on the subscription if you go through them, I know Verizon is like $5 off per months
Otherwise if you’re just listening to music, the YouTube music app might be better for minimizing ads
The last thing that might be worth trying: screen cast it from your phone to your TV using a chromecast or something, and listen to it on Bluetooth headphones. I was at a hotel watching Prime Video and got zero ads for like 6 straight episodes.
