me using SponsorBlock: what ad?
Ditto
I have no idea what I’ve missed… Till I go to someone’s house and watch raw YouTube and it’s unbearable.
REAL
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.
What is dearrow ?
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.
And what do I do with all of that time? Watch more YouTube videos, of course.
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?
Go Canadian, use spaces 452 934
Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I’ve only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else
Sound about right.
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
MapMen. I still rewatch some of their ad skits just because they were catchy and fun.
Squire’s ads are better than the actual vids of some other YTers…
Me whenever I watch SomeMoreNews and Cody has something for Ground News or he chokes down his favorite drink.
I’m happy ground.news is spreading… I got it on app release and haven’t regretted my sub years later.
Yep I’m a few months deep and still loving the features.
For Internet Historian it’s a highlight.
The only creator I’ll disable SponsorBlock for
Yeah too bad his videos are plagiarisms of other people’s work
Yeah I was really bummed to find this out along with all the nazi signposting that slipped past me because I couldn’t hear the dog whistle, he might be the only creator I’ve ever actually gone and unsubscribed to. Shame, too, because some of those videos were actually really good, credit where it’s due (even if that credit isn’t due to IH himself).
Nazi signposting? Any examples specifically? Gave up on IH after the plagiarism deal, and I know some of his earlier content tends to lean on the edgier side of things.
Best source is a reddit link, sorry.
I thought going in that people had to be overreacting about it, I know he’s a bit edgy and pretty clearly grew up on 4chan but it couldn’t be that bad.
Nah, it’s pretty bad.

Thanks for the info. Pretty awful.
MiniMinuteMan did a bit where he just juggled while talking about the sponsor and you know what, it fucking worked on me. Jangle those keys for me.
Personally, nope. I’m still annoyed. But yes, thanks for trying to make the ads amusing or whatever, YTers.
Bringus Studios had a video yesterday on the alpha I Dec kit for the original devkit. Not only was the segway pretty slick but it had his signature humor included which actually made me watch through half the ad. First time I didn’t skip the sponsor which I think says something about his writing and delivery
Ryan George honestly does good stuff with his advertisements
I’m surprised I haven’t seen the “Adstronaut in Ad Space” joke anywhere else.
They are so genuinely funny and I watch them both because of that and because I’m happy he’s able to make a living from his material!
The sponsor segments in GrayStillPlays’ videos are the only ones I remember, mostly because he ran the sponsor merch over with a lawnmower.
Advertising shits in your brain.
For me it’s calebcity
‘TomSka and Friends’ has good enjoyable ads. They generally only have the one sponsor (Surfshark VPN) but they’ve done a lot for pushing for more enjoyable ads. Their off the rails skits are ones I don’t skip
Map Men’s ads are honestly worth watching
“I’d like a subscription to Skillshare (Skillshare!), a subscription to Skillshare is what I need…”
ľll say “Skillsh”, you’ll say “Air”!
Skillsh!
Air!
