I do appreciate when they put actual effot in but with Sponsorblock i rarely see them. This meme still applies for when they get passed sponsorblock though lol

Sponsorblock

How have I never heard of this?! I just installed it, trialled it on a YouTube video, and it's instantly one of my favorites.

Thank you!!

On that note... Also take a look at DeArrow

https://dearrow.ajay.app/

Same dev as SponsorBlock, same concept, just for YT Titles and thumbnails.

Users can submit titles that better describe the contents and pick a neutral thumbnail.

Nope still an ad

I like Steve Mould's ad reads. He does science content and seems to only advertise products and services he uses, so his ads are mostly straight "this is what I like about the product, what makes it different to alternatives, this is why I use it, this is the stuff they told me to say"

He's one of the few YouTubers I actually believe when he says a product is good

me using SponsorBlock: what ad?

I have no idea what I've missed.... Till I go to someone's house and watch raw YouTube and it's unbearable.

TIL about SponsorBlock and DeArrow, just wow!

This line from the website made my day: There are currently 452.934 users who have submitted 17.125.673 skip segments, which have saved a total of 4185 years and 4.84 days of people's lives.

I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person

For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

Oh cool it's made by the same person that made sponserblock

Did you guys know if you VPN through Albania, you don’t see YouTube adverts?

I sure as hell didn’t until a few weeks ago.

Anyway, do whatever you want to with this information :)

YouTube does not have any customers in Albania

Map Men's ads are honestly worth watching

When I say "Skillsh", you say "Air"!

Skillsh!
