Sponsorblock go brrr

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I'm sorry y'all... I'm the one who convinced and helped out the owner of raycons to advertise on YouTube and podcasts before they launched there business, and I did so for free 😭

They're just rebranded Ali express Chinese stuff with better packaging btw. At least back then they were, I don't know about now

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

You watch mostly tech and video game channels, I suppose?

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 1 points 10 hours ago

Oh right, even more companies promoting their competition.

I've actually never seen an elgato sponsorship

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

It's more they break frequently and thus the name and logo crops up a lot cause of it

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago

It's when somebody's elgato stops working so their logo remains the only thing on the screen for a minute or so

Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don't know half of these companies.

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

another option is to exclusively watch small youtube channels

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

God forbid someone gets popular and starts making money off of their passion!

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And Dearrow by the same creator.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 3 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

What's dearrow? Downsides?

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Thanks, downloaded and bought it. Happy to pay for good software.

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,

[–] gergolippai@lemmy.world 84 points 1 day ago (2 children)

where's Ground News (yes i listen to boomer news commentary on youtube)

[–] hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Also Rocket Money.

Spend money to save money without having to look at your own bank statements! Makes perfect sense!

Nebula is the youtubers advertising for their own platform. It's like "like and subscribe" or "subscribe to my patreon".

This was put together by someone who doesn't watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.

[–] zout@fedia.io 31 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

PCBWay, the Raid Shadowlegends of electrical engineering projects

[–] mirisgaiss@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I was gonna say, for the stuff I watch pcbway is every fucking video

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 11 points 1 day ago

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".

Skillshare is there, next to Hello Fresh.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Oops. So used to skipping them I guess.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm proud to say that I block so many ads, this is the first time I'm seeing most of these names.

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you really need to write this like you were sponsored

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

I swear it's unintentional

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago

Wonder why the mattress folks have ads on a ton of the podcasts I listen to but it doesn't show up on yt much. You'd think a mattress ad would want a visual medium to display some features.
