They've started serving ads when you skip backwards. Drives me fucking nuts.
I was willing to use the mobile app with ads because the interface is slightly less buggy.
Ad blocking on mobile web it is for me now 👍

I hate it when I go to full screen and one of my (100s of) tabs has a youtube short that thinks "Oh, time to start playing again!"
Now I'll have paused tabs start making noise and I won't be able to find it until the ad is over.

Hmmm, so what you are saying is that I am just one ad blocker failing away from being productive in life?
Having a hard enough time just trying to fucking skip back 20 seconds without accidentally tapping on the creators' page.

And next... after opening the app you will have to watch ad before you can do anything
Come on, this is Google we're talking about. The ads come before opening the app.

What ads? 😏
The sad thing is that most people won't even give a damn.
