Unskippable? Those are the worst.

 

FYI, if an ad is Skippable, then if you wait 30 seconds, then press skip, the Channel will still get paid for your view. If you skip before 30 seconds has elapsed, it counts as if you never watched any ad at all.

I've never come across ads that long and unskippable.

I have never gotten unskippable long ads on YouTube. The longest unskippable ones I got as roughly 30 seconds long.

I use that too. What can I say. I hate ads. 

I do too. I also understand the primary content creators' need for them though, so I try to only circumvent overly-intrusive ads. Autoplaying video ads in conjunction with clickbaity links are definitely so, and 3min+ unskippable ads even more so. <30sec video ads on youtube I don't really mind
