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.

It's funny how I've learned I hate ads more than I want to watch the content I'm sometimes and I end up just instantly closing the video if an ad starts.

But that of course is only if I screw up and I'm not using ad blockers.

I have witnessed this behaviour. A person opened a video in the Android YouTube app and immediately closed it when an ad started playing. Then opened the same video again, closed it, because ads. Opened it a third time and then let it play without ads.

Most people don’t care or they care but not enough to do anything.

I'll do this if a website has an inconvenient pop up asking for email, or the cookie consent popup is too big to ignore. I just don't bother going back. I'm not sicking around to navigate around dark pattern bullshit like that.
