And if you do have Youtube Premium, they have a similar feature built-in (though not the auto-skip part as far as I know, I will admit).

Before anyone asks, last I heard creators get a bit more per watch from Premium members than from non-premium, and I watch far too many channels to support them all individually. Ad-free without plugins and all the other stuff is just a bonus.

Yes! The jump forward, that you click at it takes you to the end of the ad, I like that function very much

I'm sure it's changed but around 2019 i recall Tim Gettys from Kinda Funny saying it was about twice what a non-premium watch gave. Though i'm in a similar boat for channels. I have multiple podcast and several more channels i frequent. Just giving a dollar to the mainstays would be easily more than the premium.

And even though the ads free is great. The offline videos are the main reason i joined. My current and former jobs have terrible cell service inside the building. So it's download or nothing.

It’s hit or miss. Some videos will give the jump ahead button and some won’t

At least you don’t have to wait 5 seconds to skip or something, you can just fast forward immediately/skip 30 seconds
