“ political ads featuring Bernie Sanders, Harris, and Obama. I make sure I mute my laptop, and hit the “skip ad” button when it shows up.”

I’m not really knowledgeable on how YouTube ad charging works. But I assume if I watch all the way through an ad the advertiser gets charged more than if I hit the “skip” button. So ‘RAT ads (there are many and they run often) I let run to completion. Trump and other Republican ads I hit the “skip” button as soon as possible. Every penny I can cost the ‘RATS and every penny I can save Trump gives me satisfaction.
After Biden stole the election, I continued to subscribe to the White House YouTube Channel. Of course they turned the comments off, but every-so-often, whoever uploaded the video forgot. They also stopped showing the count for the thumbs down votes, but I still go to that channel first thing each day, and give whatever videos they’ve uploaded, a thumbs down.
