Feature request: Choose skip time

Open Dyras opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Greetings! To support YouTubers I wish I could set the extension to only skip ads after 31 seconds. Any chance this is doable?

Yes. This is doable.

How it can look: Options (right click on Skip Ad icon) can be created for this, with an input (or slider, or dropdown) to specify a number of seconds after which the Ad should be skipped.

Can you tell me how would you plan to use this? If it makes a difference for you if the Ad is stopped after a longer time, or if you choose to stop it manually at certain point?

I want the ad to automatically skip after 31 seconds, after setting it up in the settings.

Cool. Is there something special about reaching 30 seconds or just personal preference?

30 seconds used to be the point where YouTube considered the ad "viewed" and then paid the YouTuber you're watching.

https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/youtube-changes-video-ad-engagement-register-from-30-seconds-watch-time-t/539823/ Might have been reduced to 10 seconds now, however.

Thanks for clarifying. I would add this to the next release.
