You have to listen to 12 minute ads now without any way of skipping them . . . this is probably how Y/T plans to keep people from watching videos they don’t care for. At least you can mute them and do something else for the time it takes to run if you are really desperate enough to watch the original video you clicked on Y/T to watch.
My son set my phone up with a bootlegged copy of You Tube Premium, so I don’t get any adds at all.
