As I was grabbing my things, the lady ringing me up at goodwill said “last but not least, your receipt.”
I got to my car before I thought “what part of this transaction could be less than the receipt?”

One might even say, much ado about nothing...
That's specifically for video tutorials that are 10 minutes of ado and the 30 seconds at the end is the actual tutorial, which you realize you didn't need because it was stupidly easy.
(Literally me last night looking for how to get to a thing in a game I was playing, and it turned out to be right next to me just in the dark where I didn't see it)

"I am furthering the ado. Pray I do not further it any further."
Can someone explain what ado means then? I was under the impression ado was like a big commotion, as in "Much ado about nothing". When did the ado = delay meaning appear?
The ado is the commotion/activity/fuss that is unnecessary. So "without further ado" is just another way of saying "without any more unnecessary fuss [let's get down to the important business we're all here for]"
Ado noun
1: heightened fuss or concern : to-do much ado about the need for reform
2: time-wasting bother over trivial details wrote the paper without further ado
3: trouble, difficulty The journey itself is not described; our heroes disembark without ado at Philadelphia —Anthony Lane
It's adoing time so let's ado the thing Zhu li.

the furthest ado
"Let's get started!"
ado entered the chat
Well alrighty then, now that ado's here, without further ado...
With only a comparatively small amount of ado...
Also, some people will type "without further adieu," which is similarly infuriating.
I can't recall having ever seen it written down so I just assumed it was another French word/phrase bastardized by anglophones. It's a reasonably safe assumption but certainly has its failings.
They are just trying to finish before more French people leave.
When the ado furthers
the statement itself is part of the ado. Just say the thing you made the video to say
Much ado
Oh wow, little strange to see Pulsar's account outside certain furry circles :o He ain't wrong tho.
pulsar is a certain furry circle :o
My favourite is a football channel who uses that line deliberately to drop additional lore about former DC United player Freddy Adu. Every 👏 Single 👏 Video 👏
It's great!
Ado II: The Adoening
Also this usually follows 2-3 minutes of just waffling about bullshit. It doesn't help if you put your 'further ado' ahead of that statement either, jackass, just get to the damned point.
I hated this in the early days of minecraft modding. "see video below for install instructions". The video is 30 minutes long, all I need to know is which modloader this uses or do I dump it in the .jar

This is included in the modded Android YouTube app ReVanced: https://revanced.app/
That's the official site with links to their github and socials, beware of the many fake sites with similar URLs.
I recommend Tubular (a fork of NewPipe + SponsorBlock) which is available in FDroid https://f-droid.org/packages/org.polymorphicshade.tubular/

Does this fast forward past ad reads in YouTube videos?
Yes
Basically. It's community driven, so people have to mark sections of the video as an ad, or filler, or whatever else it may be. Then you can set it up to skip particular sections, mute during them, or other things.
It makes it really easy to mark segments too, so while new or unpopular videos may not be marked when you watch them, it's easy for you to add the marks for others who see it.
I wish they could find a better solution because some people have terrible editing skills. I've seen far too many videos where dialog like "but first, a word from our sponsor" and "now back to the video" is still left in before/after the skip. The edit should be seamless, as if the sponsored segment was never there to begin with.
That said, it's still better than no SponsorBlock at all.
you can do it yourself and also rate existing ones.
