    Does premium also block sponsors? Because if not, YouTube would still be unusable without an adblocker.

    Granted, YouTube would probably be the hardest service for me to walk away from. Even without the entertainment aspect. How-tos on car repair and building projects etc are quite valuable.

      If, when the ad read starts, you double-tap to fast forward, a little skip button will pop up which allows you to skip the sponsored section.

      With a browser addon you can skip automatically without Premium. It doesn’t work with very fresh videos though, because they need time for the timestamps to get added into the database.
