Also I’m gonna be drawing the new Loading Artist comic on twitch when this post is about 10 hours old. So if you happen to remember in 10 hours and have literally nothing better to do, why not come by and distract me
Sponsor Block.
Thank me later
Where is the non-skippable ads added by YouTube?
He’s using Firefox and has uBlock Origin installed.
Then please add 5 second delays.
The funny thing is, the ad that you skipped is much longer than 5 seconds, so it is still worth doing.
I time the videos now. If it takes more than 30 seconds to get to the point I click off.
Use sponsorblock. It will automatically detect any promotions, ads, recaps, intros, annoying reminders and you can set to auto-skip or display a skip button. It’s changed my life and it comes packed for free in Revanced (android). You’re missing out if you’re not using it.
You may read my comment and dismiss what I’ve said thinking “it’s just a random Lemmy user what could he know?”
Just try it, however good you think it might be I promise you it’s better than your expectations.
If you watch a Mr Beast video it’s hilarious because it skips half of the video but zero of the content, really makes you think
I use sponsor block but YouTubers who do this are still typically channels I don’t like watching. No disrespect to the job but I don’t like feeling like a product.
Much prefer YouTubers who do it as a hobby
15min video, 2min intro, 1min ads, 10min backstory, 2min guide, 2min outro.
Amazing how they manage to make 15 minutes feel like 17.
remember the wadsworth constant?
Holy shit, now I do. Wasn’t it even added as an Easter Egg at one point?
It was … back when Google had humor.
