Sponsorblock go brrr
revanced user, what are yall talking about?
Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don’t know half of these companies.
That’s the bit I hate the most about YouTube premium. You still have ad! What’s the fucking point is I have to get adblock for sponsors.
Drop every single add, including embedded and we can have a discussion.
I’m not going to be paying anyway though
another option is to exclusively watch small youtube channels
God forbid someone gets popular and starts making money off of their passion!
This is Lemmy. You were required to hate on anything that makes money or anyone attempting to monetize anything.
Everything must be free.
as much as I love self-hosting it does get f****** over the top with how up their own ass. A lot of people around here are.
This, plus the “anti-imperialism” which goes so far anti western imperialism that it goes round to being pro russian imperialism.
It’s like a clown show here sometimes.
And Dearrow by the same creator.
It’s funny that DeArrow has lead to me watching more videos with super click bait titles. It’s almost as if actually using the content for the title instead of some vague notion or off content question is more likely to pick a video to watch.
I know there’s a reason channels do it but this is just my experience.
What’s dearrow? Downsides?
Downside: Because you’re hiding the problem it doesn’t tell the creator in any way that people don’t like “arrow face” type thumbnails and clickbait titles.
I also use it and it’s great, but… Yeah.

It replaces the thumbnail with a more representative frame from the video (voted by users). The ‘arrow’ was in reference to a trend where people would put a big red arrow pointed at some shit as clickbait. This is meant to stop clickbait
Thanks, downloaded and bought it. Happy to pay for good software.
It changes titles and thumbnails to remove clickbait. Seeing the youtube homepage without it is genuinely jarring–everyone is clawing at your attention. “Pick me, pick me!”
There are different options but i have it set so the thumbnail is a random frame from the video. I think titles are ‘normalized’ and sometimes community generated.
I love sponsor block, it works pretty much flawlessly apart from when YouTube recommends me a video from literally 30 seconds ago, which is surprisingly often that I can now count it on 2 hands as of the last time I got a scarily new video on my feed,
where’s Ground News (yes i listen to boomer news commentary on youtube)
Also Rocket Money.
Spend money to save money without having to look at your own bank statements! Makes perfect sense!
legal eagle also has ground news as a supervisor pretty often.
I’ve actually never seen an elgato sponsorship
It’s when somebody’s elgato stops working so their logo remains the only thing on the screen for a minute or so
It’s more they break frequently and thus the name and logo crops up a lot cause of it
You watch mostly tech and video game channels, I suppose?
Missing Nebula
Nebula is the youtubers advertising for their own platform. It’s like “like and subscribe” or “subscribe to my patreon”.
They are right anyway.
I’m missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.
PCBWay, the Raid Shadowlegends of electrical engineering projects
I was gonna say, for the stuff I watch pcbway is every fucking video
Better help is so shitty that it makes me turn off a video when my sponsor block isn’t working. Bambulab at least makes something “good”.
Hensson. It is a very good razor, just double the price of others
That’s the one!
You missed Factor.
And AG1 and skillshare
Skillshare is there, next to Hello Fresh.
Oops. So used to skipping them I guess.
I’m sorry y’all… I’m the one who convinced and helped out the owner of raycons to advertise on YouTube and podcasts before they launched there business, and I did so for free 😭
They’re just rebranded Ali express Chinese stuff with better packaging btw. At least back then they were, I don’t know about now
I’m proud to say that I block so many ads, this is the first time I’m seeing most of these names.
These sponsors are more and more being baked in the video themselves and not part of the system youtube use. That’s why I use sponsorblock to automatically skip the portions of the sponsors.
Did you really need to write this like you were sponsored
I swear it’s unintentional
Oh right, even more companies promoting their competition.
This was put together by someone who doesn’t watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.
And I have never ever used one of those services.
Got a set of Raycon headphones, they’re fine but nothing special
Dankpods heavily criticized them.
Yeah but dank is also a bit of an audio snob. Hes rough on everything that your normal person would use. He’s not entirely wrong. But he is rough.
Well the KZ-s I had were way better than any other cheap earphones I used before and later. He has every right to complain over other cheap and even more expensive products.
I mean sure they arent good by any measure but for 70$ and after 4 years of near daily use in a shop with grinders and paint they’ve done what I needed them to, no complaints just no real complement either
Well, that’s better than my KZ ZSN PROs, where the connector got loose and I lost one headphone(edit: actually ear idiot) in 2 months. But they were great while they lasted. Now I just use the JBL-s I got as a gift which practically can’t die.
You guys are seeing sponsors? Don’t people use sponsorblock? I’ve never heard of (or seen) half these things.
You would be surprised how many people still watch with the normal YouTube ads, so never mind sponsorsblock. I guess the big tech companies succeeded by dumbing everything down to bite-sized technologies. So many younger people can’t even comprehend the notion of ad blockers. They are basically on the same level as boomers when it comes to tech literacy.
You beat me to it.
My wife once asked me why is it so that on our HTPC there are no ads on YouTube and even on Netflix. Now she’s hyped to use YouTube on her phone, tablet and her PC after I installed Revanced on her portables and Firefox with UBO+Sponsorblock on her PC.
I also remember frustration of our teachers in uni when they were showing some videos off youtube as an example for the class.
It may be not so obvious to us, but in reality most of internet users have no such tools installed on their systems. They raw dogging the internet.
There are some creators who’s content ads have the same effort as the rest of the content. As a heavy ad block user this is the only way for advertisers to reach me and im okay with it.
sometimes there isnt labeled sponsor segments, I just usually skip increments of 30 seconds since most sponsor are either 30, 60 or 90 seconds
