This is bullshit. I don’t use an ad-blocker.

You're right. It IS bullshit that you don't use an adblocker. It's kind of like saying "This is bullshit! I don't use oven mitts as I take hot metal trays out of the oven! Why am I the only one getting burned???"

You’re misunderstanding. They are calling out the claim of 15 seconds explicitly, they aren’t necessarily complaining about the ads.

Don’t hand wave their statement by arguing against something they aren’t talking about.
