A Google exec should be shot for any ads longer than 30 seconds.

I was taking a shower once and wanted some music. I started the YouTube app on my phone cause revanced was acting up at the time. It starte off mildly enough, with like 2x15seconds ads, but by the time I was all shampooed one of those huge ads started playing. It didn't stop until I finished my shower. I was seeing red by the time I got out of the shower and turned it off.

I'd hazard a guess that this old quora post that was estimating the average American loses 4.2 years of their life on ads would now result in even more time lost on ads, but let's go with 4.2 years per person. This means that for every 20 people, there's one person's lifetime of ads. "A life for a life" is a fair concept, Google. Start the culling. One Google employee shot for every 20 people that use YouTube. It's the only way to atone.

I recently saved a post somewhere with a complete guide on cracked youtube on smart tv's which wasn't all too difficult iirc.. let me know if you want me to dig it up.
