Advertisers would love to skip uninterested viewers, the problem is that someone else, in this case youtube, wants that money from the advertiser for your eye balls. I normally don’t mind the model of ads for free service but it’s a sewer of interminable garbage that is also dangerous to be exposed to (bad scripts and stuff).

Not really an issue with YT video ads though right? They're just annoying and too frequent but they're not really hazardous (beyond some cognitohazard of random crank stuff).
Ads drive consumerism which comes with a rather large pollution problem, making the only planet we can live on that we know of more and more uninhabitable.
