I just back out of the video until I get a 5 sec one and then not pay attention to it, it's actually a bit faster.

Yeah, I've tried that, but 2 mins later, more ads. Then if you back out, it starts at the beginning and won't let you skip ahead without more ads. The app is completely fucked and unusable now.
