YouTube has gotten nice guy aggressive with fucking ads, especially on here … Instead of the video you see instant ad. I will not watch the ad so I click back and instead of taking me back to my app YouTube shrinks the ad then keeps it there I have to press back another two times to get the fuck away from YouTube so I can copy the link and open it in Firefox with ublock origin. I love new pipe.
I personally am ok with sponsors. They directly support the creators, and are easy enough to skip. Much better than unskippable targeted ads to “support” a multi-billion-dollar company…
Pretty sure they still do get paid since it’s based on views, SponsorBlock is just an Auto-skipping tool it’s not any different than scrubbing the bar manually to bypass it, though by being automated it is pretty seamless most of the time.
I have yet to see this running ublock origin on firefox
Same. And the instant I do I will stop using youtube.

Purge cache and update Ublock Origin
*uBlock Origin
Note: There’s a fake one called uBlock out there, so it’s best to point people to uBlock Origin or simply uBO as it’s abbreviated.
And sponsorblock for the in-video ads

It is being tested on select viewers before rollout.
