Re:Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads by al_borland on Wednesday September 24, 2025 @09:53AM (#45360424)
I’m a Premium user and primarily watch on AppleTV. A little while ago they added a feature where if I press the button to skip ahead on the remote when a sponsor section starts, it skips over the whole thing. It skips over “commonly skipped” sections.

While it doesn’t totally remove it, it lets me choose if I want to watch or not, and gets me past it in a single button press. All using the native app. I was surprised the first time this happened. I assume the creators hate it.
