<3 sponsorblock
This is included in the modded Android YouTube app ReVanced: https://revanced.app/
That's the official site with links to their github and socials, beware of the many fake sites with similar URLs.
I recommend Tubular (a fork of NewPipe + SponsorBlock) which is available in FDroid https://f-droid.org/packages/org.polymorphicshade.tubular/

Fuck yeah, SponsorBlock! 🤘
I love the statistics it gives you
Does this fast forward past ad reads in YouTube videos?
Basically. It's community driven, so people have to mark sections of the video as an ad, or filler, or whatever else it may be. Then you can set it up to skip particular sections, mute during them, or other things.
It makes it really easy to mark segments too, so while new or unpopular videos may not be marked when you watch them, it's easy for you to add the marks for others who see it.

"I am furthering the ado. Pray I do not further it any further."
I love the smell of ado in the morning
Frankly, my dear, I don't give ado.
Ado. I am your further
Ado II: The Adoening
As I was grabbing my things, the lady ringing me up at goodwill said “last but not least, your receipt.”
I got to my car before I thought “what part of this transaction could be less than the receipt?”

Many people don't really think about their language. They kind of snap their phrases together like a child with those big duplo blocks.
Most of the time that's fine, if a bit limiting. But occasionally you get glimpses into how communication could be clearer, or more accurate, if they thought about their words more.
I partly blame our public education system. Not enough funding, some funding misused, other problems I don't even know about. But it feels like a lot of people are barely educated, and don't have any intellectual curiosity.

Also this usually follows 2-3 minutes of just waffling about bullshit. It doesn't help if you put your 'further ado' ahead of that statement either, jackass, just get to the damned point.
I hated this in the early days of minecraft modding. "see video below for install instructions". The video is 30 minutes long, all I need to know is which modloader this uses or do I dump it in the .jar

Also, some people will type "without further adieu," which is similarly infuriating.
They are just trying to finish before more French people leave.

i was today years old when i discovered that ado and adieu were in fact different words
Much ado
the statement itself is part of the ado. Just say the thing you made the video to say
With only a comparatively small amount of ado...
Can someone explain what ado means then? I was under the impression ado was like a big commotion, as in "Much ado about nothing". When did the ado = delay meaning appear?
The ado is the commotion/activity/fuss that is unnecessary. So "without further ado" is just another way of saying "without any more unnecessary fuss [let's get down to the important business we're all here for]"
Ado noun
1: heightened fuss or concern : to-do much ado about the need for reform
2: time-wasting bother over trivial details wrote the paper without further ado
3: trouble, difficulty The journey itself is not described; our heroes disembark without ado at Philadelphia —Anthony Lane
