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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
Idk if this is outdated or I just watch different content than OP, but I’ve been seeing mostly Helix & MeUndies the last year
helix? like, the text editor???
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.
Füm?
I can’t say that without it rhyming with “cum”
I know it’s got the umlaut, but… yknow… cmon.
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.
You missed Factor.
And AG1 and skillshare
Skillshare is there, next to Hello Fresh.
Oops. So used to skipping them I guess.
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.
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
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.
Sponsorblock go brrr
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
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
This was put together by someone who doesn’t watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.
You watch mostly tech and video game channels, I suppose?
I’m missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.
Hensson. It is a very good razor, just double the price of others
That’s the one!
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”.
