    Honestly it would be trivial for them to make the video controls server side too and simply not accept fast forward commands from the client during the ad.

    We might be in a “Download and edit to watch ad-free” world with this change.

      Seems too much, really. Even if they do such a terrible thing, would they not expose a “report ad” or “see the product” buttons? Video buffer is still locally downloaded.

      I accept having to wait until the video downloads past the ad. Certainly not going to watch the ad.
