I'm in group B. The ads definitely make it harder to perform "mindless scrolling", but if I actually "need" to watch a video (e.g. a setup video for a product purchased recently) I'll just eat shit and watch the ads.

My favorite thing to do is mute unskippable ads (like on the Youtube app on my TV). Just cuz I can't skip it doesn't mean I have to actually listen or watch!
