I've got a couple questions about this.

If the timestamp is off, how does the share link with timestamp work?

If I quit watching the video when an ad starts and then start watching it again, does it continue with the ad? I watch yt on my Samsung tv and it's an ad minefield, but it's kinda fun and easy to report the ads or quit the vid and start it again to avoid the ads. Id rather spend 30 seconds bouncing around menus than watching ads for stuff I don't use.

If it's injected video, can I just skip ahead like I do for sponsored content?

If you stop the video mid-ad it just restarts the ad or shows a new one
