Okay, so what we now need is a browser plugin that skips ahead 15 or 30 seconds, mapped to a hotkey.
On mobile.
Because on desktop, you can just tap your arrow keys a couple of times. Skipping around a video on a mobile device with nothing but a touch screen -- which is where the vast majority of users are viewing -- is a pain in the ass.
So yeah. Just put a Big Red Button in the corner for people to press. Skip.
You can skip on mobile. Just double tap on right or left.
Although I assume YouTube will disable that for ads.
If they are evil enough, it will just simply register as a click (tap) on the ad.
