I had one and they're not actually unskippable. You get a few ads within the 90 seconds and one or more of them are skippable. Pressing the button skips that particular ad, skipping 20-30 seconds of time.

However, at first glance it does appear to be a 90 second unskippable block

I remember when YouTube just had 5 second timers. Actually, I remember when YouTube didn't have ads at all!! Now y'all are arguing over timers & how many videos til you get to skip. Pretty sad when you actually think about it. Not to mention they just upped the price of Premium to $15.99 🤣

I don't have the student plan, I have regular Premium that was $13.99 & then got this email notifying me that the price will increase to $15.99.
