I would like to shill Sponsorblock, an extension where users can select sections of a video, mark them as "introduction" "non-music" or "sponsor" and it automatically skip those sections for other users who arrive at that video. It has made using Youtube so so so much smoother.
They're paid ALSO based on how long people watch (which skipping decreases) and their sponsors offer deals based on their conversion metrics, which can't happen if people don't watch.
I pay for YouTube premium and all the sponsor shit does annoy me too. As much as I like Legal Eagle, him having 2 ads and a sponsor IN each videos on top of the ads I don't see with Premium really makes me want to use sponsor block, but I mostly listen to stuff on my phone.
Oh, you still can? Some time ago it was giving me all kinds of error when using it so I just stopped. I'll try again and see if it can get it working.
Thanks!
Truth is, they get paid whether you watch the sponsored segment or not. Unlike pre-, mid- and post-roll ads which do not pay creators if they're blocked (doesn't stop me from blocking ads, but I support where I can, such as via merch purchases, using sponsor codes or watching exclusively on Nebula for creators who are on Nebula)

I would've read your comment l, but I'm using sponsorblock and it automatically blocked your comment.
I actually cannot stand watching YouTube without sponsorblock now…
No, how about you let creators make the little money that they can. Oh wait, you support piracy, that's right.
Creators get their sponsor money when the video goes up. Skipping that part doesn't hurt them at all
Not quite true.

They wouldn't make money from me either way because I never buy stuff based on video sponsorships.

Didn't know that. But it's still honorable to support them.
Damn right, fuck capitalism
