When did they start putting 1 minute commercials on youtube? They used to appear for a few seconds and then you could click a box to skip whatever else may remain in it.
Ad blockers work for websites, but I believe ads in youtube videos are embedded in the video, so you are stuck watching the whole thing, like in this case, or given the opportunity to click out after a few seconds.
You can also try the brave browser. I use it on my phone & computer and I never get YouTube ads. I like it better than chrome/Firefox/ whatever other globohomo browsers and apps.

You know adblockers exist, right?

Try adblock plus. I never see an ad in a YT video on my home computers. I don't know if it works on phones because I've never tried it.
Just added it, and it DID block the imbedded ad! I guess I'll need to donate some money for the "honor ware" :)
Ok, thanks, I only use a laptop for internet.
I just turn off the sound and start scanning the comments.
Are you using a computer or a phone?
If a phone, Apple or Android?
On PC, uBlock Origin and Sponsor Block are both still working for me.
That will stop ads that are part of a youtube video?
ublock origin blocks youtube ads
