YouTube just made it harder to avoid ads with a tiny skip button

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If you get it to work, I'd also look into getting the button remapper app so you can make the YouTube button on your remote open up smart tube instead.
I also use it to map the double tap of Netflix to Disney+ and a hold to go to Amazon. It's pretty handy.
I didn't know that was a thing! Sounds like a worthwhile endeavor!
