But manually looping any part of it inside the video which you can do past the first 2 minutes would still not be an ad. All of those problems that you listed have incredibly easy solutions that you can do with zero training.
And realistically if they are looking for profit I still see no reason why they would keep these up. The benefits are absolutely minimal at best and the drawbacks are quite large.

My YouTube app on my phone, which doesn’t have an ad blocker. And as far as I know, there’s no way to restart a video at a certain timestamp, it just restarts from the very beginning. I’d be glad to hear otherwise though?
Go into the YouTube “three dots” options and you can “Create Clip” which will allow you to shave out or repeat any length of video you want. If you shave it out, you can make it private and just repeat the single video.

Use any YouTube download site (say like this one) and just get the MP3 or video which you can play over and over using any media player.

If you’re on a phone, use a third-party YouTube app like GrayJay and it’ll block ads.
I tend to fall asleep to one of those videos of being on the beach with ocean sounds, so /shrug.
So to combat use cases like this, why not just add a repeat option? There would be no break if it cached the beginning again.
Also just download the audio you want and loop it yourself. It would take roughly 2 minutes and use way less bandwidth.
The first two minutes are an ad, and having a loud voice talking to you all of a sudden in your bedroom while you are asleep tends to wake you up.
With compression techniques being as they are today, I truly don’t even worry about the bandwidth.

Ah! A few ways to do things:
If you have questions, ask away!
Thanks for the info, much appreciated!
Not the same as 10hr nyan cat or bacon pancakes
Definately not the same. Also, what “nobody watches” is in the eye of the beholder.
