And YT provides a disguised sponsorblock on top
It's not often, but yeah, sometimes I'll get a "Jump Ahead >>>" button overlay that skips the sponsor ad-read and/or a clear auto-generated "segment" that is the sponsor ad-read.
Still, I never expected YT Red to remove uploaded content, only to stop inserted advertisements.
Haha, YT Red.
Now that is an old name of a better time.
That's what it was called when I started getting it for free with my subscription to Google Play Music. :)
