For me it isn't the length, but the frequency that is bothering me. It's insain, it's like every 3-5 mins depending on the video length. It's unusable atleast in my case. Only watching from devices I have adblocker on now. Not my phone.

Like the other person commented, I use Firefox Plus adblocker on my phone and it's fine.

Why not use adblock on your phone too? Like Firefox+Adblock(FF allows addons like on desktop)

Can you run Firefox extensions on iPhone?
