I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of: #4570

It's been a long standing issue and reported a few times.

I just skipped an ad this way the other day, if I remember correctly, so I think it's working for me.

could you try it again and what other browser plugins are you using??

I believe it was on a new Windows install with Chrome and no other extensions except maybe Enhancer for YT. However, I just tried it again on my main (Arch Linux) machine in Firefox (private window to get ads) and had the issue you mentioned. I don't normally need to skip ads because I have YouTube Premium signed in on all my main devices. So, maybe I'm imagining, but I was almost sure I did this on my new computer after installing adons but before logging in.
