Shortly before I started paying for YouTube, I remember seeing one of those ultra-long ads. The ad seemed interesting, so at first I didn't want to skip it. As soon as I saw that it was a looooong ad I got into the habit of checking the length of an ad before I even considered if it's worth watching.
Now I just pay for Youtube. I'm a lot happier that way.
Time is money. Ten minutes of daily YouTube ads adds up to 5 hours a month. Premium costs $14, roughly an hour's work at minimum wage. Trade one hour of labor for four hours of free time. That's 48 hours back each year for $168. It's a no brainer. Even if your wage is half of 14 dollars, you would still gain 24 hours back and it would still be worth it.
or install ublock origin and keep your money and the time!
while depriving google of revenue AND costing them money
win, win, win and WIN
Also decreasing the likelihood of content that you like watching gets made? The creator is being paid from that ad revenue too.

I watch YouTube on many devices through the app. At the time, I was using YouTube music.
