YouTube now hides the Skip button for ads until you can use it

Key Takeaways

  • YouTube ad segments can be annoying but have a Skip option available after a few seconds.

  • Users have noticed a change in the Skip button’s display, potentially leading to confusion.

  • The absence of a countdown timer in the Skip button’s usual spot seems to be intentional.

      They probably make money from sharing my data with 3rd parties , though it’s not as benefitical as the data of someone in other countries I live in Syria

          You mean you don’t wanna use a Syrian VPN server , or you don’t wanna use a VPN if you ever lived in Syria ?

            I don’t wanna use a Syrian VPN server. I’m familiar with the name of the country which means there’s some kind of controversy happening there. That’s how I hear about places. 😅

              Well the only thing you would get from a Syrian VPN server is no ads on Meta - YouTube and a few other apps , otherwise you’d need a VPN for the VPN to use things that aren’t available here … like: indeed (jobs) , Netflix , Gitlab , linktree , Google play (mostly works but sometimes need a VPN ) and other things I can’t remember
