How To Skip (almost) Any YouTube Video In Under 5 Seconds (and some other stuff too) 

By the way y'all, I know some ad blockers might still work. I personally use an ad blocker while watching in a private window, since trying to watch videos in a non-private window stopped working after a while. That said, reminder that this was made over a year ago, so some stuff may be outdated, and I apologize for that.

I do the same thing on my tv where i exit out the video and open it again hoping i dont get an ad again

youtubes adblocker ban is useless, adblockers already found a workaround

That plush ad was so confusing that it lives rent free in my head. How is that ad more effective than 99% of ads. I even watched that ad through fully when I first got it just to see where the twist was…

youtube revanced and u block ftw!!

mythical recommended pull

The "Block Ad" thing hasn't worked for me in years 😭😭 They disabled that for me because i kept spam blocking every ad i came across lmaooo

RU-vid recommended absolutely cooking with these smaller channel video recommendations. Keep it up man!

My favorite method is just clicking a random video that is suggested, and then immediately press ←(Previous Page) button google has to go back to the video.

omgggg recommended gave me a hidden gem, love ur editing!

The irony of youtube recommending techniques to skip the ads on its platform

i've been using that for years holllyyyyy ( Stop leaking my methods, it might be bye byed )

back in the old days, they were used for pop up ads at the bottom of the video. In the present day, you watch an ad for a whopping 5 ads in 1 for unskippable 10 second ads. Those were 50 seconds.

Your art style is awesome, inspired yet original. Keep up the good work! :)

This can work against you taking in mind what youtube uses ads for, as only the first second is enough to shove a brand's name down your throat (which is why most ads have the brand's name shown immediately, they dont care about wasting your time). I'd recommend turning the volume down and looking away when doing the "close video" method, specially on tv youtube and mobile. None of these methods are necessary in pc as most adblockers bypass youtube's detection in less than a day. You can get most of yt premium for free by using third party apps, watch youtube from your mobile browser so you can use adblockers and NEVER install the youtube app on pc as it completely blocks adblockers.

i have no idea why im watching this i have an adblocker

Always wondered why no one talks about this cool ad skip. I've been using the "stop seeing this ad" button on my PS4 RU-vid and can do it in less than a second. However, nowadays almost half the ads I find are unskipable. So I just click on and off the video over and over lol.

I used the block ad feature on an especially cringe Updoc ad, it's good to know this tech has further utility. Also, I found this channel through your other video and I'm so glad I did.

i actually found another way that i found on tv, you pause, click on the "i" in the circle, select the last "stop showing this ad", and then click on "return to video"

another method that i do wll the time is if you're on mobile (yes mobile only) you can tap shorts when you get an ad, look at the short for 5-15 seconds, then youtube thinks you watched the ad

THATS MY GOAT, HOLY SHIT HI IRL HAPPY RU-vid DAY 🎉🎉🎉

Great video! Keep up the good work!

click share, then click embed. it'll have a smaller video player to watch the video in which is ad-free (for now, at least.) this worked back when youtube really hated ublock

This is a pretty neat video, and I was not aware you could do this, so good on you for knowing this for so long. I actually know of another bug where if a Video has timestamps, you can simply press CTRL+the right key to skip the ad (this is supposed to just be a simple keyboard shortcut to bring you onto a certain section). Now the catch with this is that you need timestamps (or a sponser if you're using sponserblock as sponserblock segments have the same functionality) but it's still good to know about. anyways video is good i just went on a side-thing

I wish I could block entire advertisers, cause some companies have VERY obnoxious ads that I'm not interested in whatsoever. I haven't downloaded tictac or lemu or whatever after the billionth ad RU-vid's shown me. Can't they assume I'm never going to and focus their efforts somewhere else?

Thank you for your Wise Advice

There actually used to be a glitch where if you click on a short and then go back to the video, the ad would disappear, but it was patched I think

if you're on opera you can enter picture in picture and drag the time bar to the end of the ad idk if it works on other browsers

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="329">5:29</a> chad's a chad for saying that

You could also put the video in a miniplayer, and use the “10 seconds forward” button to skip a majority of a 15 second ad. Though, it just restarts an ad shorter than 10 seconds,

Only recommending this to me because they don't let you do that anymore. Good play, RU-vid.

On tv you can hit the information button, and if it lets you report the ad, you can do that to skip to the video. but there are still some ads that you cannot report

i do the refresh since google hates when i have personalized ads

🔥 I fw this style and you got the voice for it fosho

hell yeah, ive been personally using both these exploits myself for years and can confirm they have saved hours of my time

before i got my adblocker, i just went backward a page in the browser and then forward back to the video. just holding alt and pressing left then right, and it seems like it has the same effect as the one in this video, but it would only skip the ad at the very start of the video

I use an adblocker, and it's really handy!

I did it the Sol's RNG way where I refresh the video until an ad does not play.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="540">9:00</a>, spoken like a true person who has no idea how to bypass that

This is literally what I do on a TV

Oh my GAWSHHHHH its DINKLE from ITEMLABEL AHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i have yet to see an ad that allows me to "not see it again" ive tried to do this in the past multiple times and it never worked also, for reloading ads on mobile, you can just click on the shorts tab

also, if there is a specific creator you dont like, or some kind of content, if you are on your phone you can press the 3 dots in the top and then read the menu the rest is obvius, on pc you do the exact same.

AdNauseam FTW!!!

Alt + Left, Right Works like a charm

Ive only watched 2 ads in their entirety voluntarily, one of them was a guy with one hand selling knives from his kitchen which was pretty funny and the other one i forgot. I never saw them again because they weren't cringe so RU-vid didnt like them

I feel like I never get ads on RU-vid. Even when I do, it’s over in 5 seconds. Maybe I hit the RU-vid jackpot

i just commented the phone trick you showed right before that part came up omg ;-;

On mobile I rapidly click the shorts button, on Mac the mini player can scrub. I wonder why it’s so easy to skip ads

Thanks for the tips!

this used to be a lot faster on mobile

finally, youtube reccomending me something useful i can finally skip ads on mobile too

This is cool, but the main problem is a lot of ads for some reason don’t have block ad buttons? I don’t know if it’s a recent thing or just on mobile, but still.

method I used before geting uBlock: double right click the video, hover over Speed, hit x2, turns 5 second unskippable ads into 3 second things, still really inconvenient tho

Great content

Reference to a FOAF

fun fact you can skip or rewind ads with picture in picture mode

If you have a touch bar on your Apple laptop, you can skip ads at any time using the touch bar

thanks recommended this is peak

I like how soothing this guy's voice is, he definitely gyat my sub

"how to skip any youtube video in under 5 seconds"

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="484">8:04</a> I thought I saw a Pyramid plushie and was going to accuse them of copyright infringement

Absolute peak

Why not just use an ad blocker?

Reloading page… YOU STOLE THAT FROM ME! just kidding everyone knows that

Fr I though I was the only person who knew this

Nice vid!

I believe the ads you can't block, are ads made by or affiliated with Google.

instructions unclear, made a add

Cool vid.

The artstyle reminds me of Riddle school.

On tv you can go to why this ad button and theres an option to go back to video it literally skips the ad

im glad this is in my recomended

Just try not to spam this too much, everyone, if you do it on every ad you see Google will stop you from being able to use the block ad feature

You are a genius.

lmao love the thumbnail

The first method doesn't work at all for me.

i usually spam click the arrow going round icon till ads no mo

you can also on pc press the return and go back button which will skip the ads too.

Thanks, but I'm using adblock anyways.

Ad blockers may not work but vpn to Russia does

Can someone explain me the video? I skipped through most of it

I knew it was the Pee Peepy ad!

omg no more hero wars ads?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!!?!?! take my sub :DDDDDD

i often refresh

i'm so glad you didn't expose the REAL method... i was so ready to block and report you now let's CONTINUE to keep the ACTUAL method gatekept

ad blockers still work on firefox
