Is this really a thing people want? I use Pipepipe, but auto skipping content is the one thing I turned off pretty fast. It can be pretty annoying (I think it was on the latest Tony Iommi video where it wanted to skip large portions).
I don't mind the channels I like having sponsors, and if I do I just double tap forward a couple of times to skip the minute.
This is such a weird take, sorry. The only argument against it you bring up is that it feels annoying; which would be valid in theory but then you say you "double tap forward a couple of times" instead? Notably, you never know how long an ad is so you have to tap a few times, check, tap again, maybe tap backwards because now you accidentally skipped too far and missed actual content...
Less annoying because it didn't randomly skip stuff while I'm watching.
If I notice they are starting to again mention that VPN client or whatever I can just decide to skip (and the visuals often change as the "ad" is often prerecorded). But I remain in control.
