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.

    I have witnessed this behaviour. A person opened a video in the Android YouTube app and immediately closed it when an ad started playing. Then opened the same video again, closed it, because ads. Opened it a third time and then let it play without ads.
