So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work.

I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷‍♂️

    It does skip them, just automatically.

    Plus you can skip intros, outros, and about a dozen of other things.

      It’s great most of the time, but occasionally it will skip sections that are definitely not an ad and instead an important part of the video.

        It has non-ad settings, like intro, outro, recap, etc.

        Be sure to check your settings, as not just adverts are on by default.

        If it’s not that, make sure to “thumbs down” the skip when it pops up as that helps the system as a whole.
