    part of the issue, imo, is that creators also put ads in their videos. So you get two pre-roll ads, a sponsor segment, an ad in the middle, and then another sponsor segment. Maybe throw in some product placements as well. And one of those ads might be 1.5 hours long if you don’t manually skip it. I know I’m not the only one who woke up after falling asleep to a video to find themselves 45 minutes into some ad.

    After living with ublock and sponsorblock for so long, it’s shocking to watch youtube without them.
