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. Also, who doesn’t use an ad blocker on YouTube?

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?

Ah! A few ways to do things:

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. and / or
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. and / or
If you're on a phone, use a third-party YouTube app like GrayJay and it'll block ads.

If you have questions, ask away!
