cant wait for the ultimate battle: AdBlock Devs VS YT devs
also if you dont want to install an adblocker just to block YT ads, you can use this bookmarklet (runs JavaScript to change the ads current playback frame to the last one
javascript: void(0);(function(){document.querySelectorAll('video')[0].currentTime = document.querySelectorAll('video')[0].duration;})()
has anyone heard the news 
yt is just starting to block ad blockers to recover billions in lost revenue over the decade :/

At that point you’d save more time waiting for the ad to finish
I watch YouTube mostly on mobile, and I did the entire refreshing procedure for ~0.5-1 second
Given that an ad takes ~5-10 seconds I’d say it actually saves me time (unless if YouTube decided to give an ad chain; longest I’ve got is 6 in a row)
