Are you saying your threshold for ads and empty foreshadowing hype is somehow under 99%? I sure do love me an ad-blocked, sponsor-blocked video that still somehow manages to waste 10 minutes to learn "no" or "I don't know, either."

That's when the skip to highlight option comes in handy. And if a video doesn't have it I end up contributing so next person can save time.
