Users on Reddit are reporting that they're now seeing 90-second unskippable ads on YouTube's TV app, even as policy restricts them to 30 seconds.

      Don’t forget Unwatched if you’re on iOS platforms!

        Seems like youtube forces sign-in using Unwatched on iOS? An alternative is Vinegar which replaces the video player in Safari, and skips the ads, mostly and usually (until youtube updates some things then vinegar needs to catch up).
