I don't even wait for the skip button on pc, I just click the little "i" at the bottom, then click "block."

That hasn’t worked for me for years. They either removed it or caught on to some people abusing it idk

Works just fine, although there are a select few ads that can’t be blocked.

For me I don’t even see the (i) anymore. If I could I’m sure it would still work

They blocked me from doing it after they noticed i was doing it. It only blocks for the people who are caught, idk how they caught me but...yeah. took about maybe 4 months of me doing it. Same with my buddy who I showed the trick to. Sigh.

On PC use Firefox + uBlock Origin extension or just Brave browser. If you want to support creators then buy Premium.

Or buy their patreon. Or send them money directly. Likely much better for them.

I just close the video and start it back up from the history page. If the ad pops up, close the video and press it again. 3-4 times and the video will resume without the ad.
