Agreed, but I pay for YouTube Premium. Now it's one of the last things I would cancel. Instant videos on every single device I own including TV.

No ads if you pay.

What about the content creators dedicating intro/mid/outro to sponsors?

Do these dedications really help sales? I mean these kind of endorsements are so obviously fake, you know the content creator isn't using the product at all and is just reading the script.

double tap to fast forward on mobile is the best feature; reminds me of the 30sec skip I had on my TiVO a decade ago. I tend to jump past the monologues that all creators seem to have nowadays.

Until youtube adds a feature that enables creators to choose unskippable sections of the video, and sponsors will require this from youtubers.
