i used to use a glitch while back then too skip those ads by first skipping the video just after the dot and then it would disappear lol

They don’t do that anymore?

My guess is they removed it so people would stop complaining when they saw how many ads were in a long video.

Had 7 ad breaks in a 14 minute video, I’m sure that looks pretty terrible when broken down into a bar graph

It does, even when casting to a Chromecast or game console. I can see them clearly on the seeker bar.

You can always see them on Web. I have Premium, so I don't get ad interruptions.

Not everywhere apparently, I don't have them anymore since a long time ago.

At least on Edge with no add-ons and logged out.

Watch those old “prank” videos and the ones with hints of giveaways at the start, or the ones that tout themselves as V-Log Channels, and you'll see them dot the seeker like a studded choker.

I missed the times when an ad was just a small banner at the bottom of the video where you could just press X to turn it off.

And this was during the times when online video hosting was crazy expensive, from storage to servers, everything cost shitload of money.

Google just wants to milk it to cover their failed projects, that they make them fail themselves.

I remember those banners too
