Minus ad watch time! The cost is directly proportional to how you value your time.

There exist adblockers and extensions like SponsorBlock to block in-video sponsor segments, tangents, intros, outros and other time wasters.

I gave you clear clues, but you still overlooked my comment. These blockers are a hit or miss on any given day; remember, it's a continuous fight between both sides.

I have watched literally zero ads on Youtube since I installed uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock many years ago. If it’s a continuous fight then it’s one that adblockers continuously win.

No, they've been working just fine for years, maybe you should actually have experience with them before making such false equivalences.

Also no need for the snark in your first sentence, if you're going to say something then say it, instead of giving people "clues" and trying to fault them for failing to read your mind for some reason.
