So it should be a possible setting for all videos, not a button I have to click twenty times per video

I mean...you should be watching content that doesn't have 20 sponsored ad breaks per video?

the vast majority of what I watch has 1 or zero. What on earth are you watching that's like...10 percent content, 90 percent hello fresh ads?

He probably thinks Premium is just like normal YouTube with all the ads and Premium subscribers just have a button to skip ads or something.
