Why do you keep clicking it?

Because they get inserted into the timeline like normal videos, or maybe there's just one that you really want to watch.

By design, it's hard to avoid them entirely.

Ublock makes it trivial to block the panel. I have a rule set to automatically hide it as if it were an ad (which, in some sense, it is)

That's cool. Pity you can't do this in the mobile app...

I recommend NewPipe instead of the mobile app.

So in those cases you want them to be there?

I did it like, three times ever. I was curious about the content at some point. Then I remembered why I never click it.
