Anyone else feel that the ads load way faster with less buffering than the actual videos?

The ads are probably cached on the device from the first load. So that'll explain why

I never use the YouTube app (I use NewPipe), but even the YouTube website does this.

not very weird most likely, considering that there are significantly fewer ads and they're much shorter in length than videos, therefore it makes sense to cache them in some way 🤷‍♀️
