Just stop using the TV like that. Hook up a small Linux computer via hdmi and use that instead.

I have an older MacBook with standard hdmi, but there are some creators I really like on YouTube and we have an ancient Roku stick that still works. The remote is convenient and I usually go pee during the ads.

Jesus, is that how long youtube ads are these days?

Yeah but the decent thing is that they show you how long before you can skip. So you know how long you have.
