SomeMoreNews often gets me
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
me using SponsorBlock: what ad?
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.
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?
Sound about right.
Go Canadian, use spaces 452 934

And what do I do with all of that time? Watch more YouTube videos, of course.
I have no idea what I’ve missed… Till I go to someone’s house and watch raw YouTube and it’s unbearable.
REAL
Ditto
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.
the hitler references i can look past as bad low-effort edgy teen jokes, but him following a bunch of actual alive nazis on twitter is the most damning to me. good riddance, glad that i unsubscribed back when he was exposed for plagiarism. what a talentless hack
Squire’s ads are better than the actual vids of some other YTers…
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.
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!
Skillsh!
Air!
Skillsh!
Air!
‘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
Ice Cream Sandwich, Martincitopants and NakeyJakey have me going back after sponsorblock skips it, it’s just so entertaining i’ll take the ad at this point
you can whitelist channels in sponsorblock
I do this for tomatoanus skits as well, those are usually pretty off the wall. My man has an entire storyline saga going on in his ad read sections.
Danny Gonzalez definitely makes them pretty good too. But I feel like the original ones to make ads entertaining were MBMBAM in the early years. Griffin’s songs, their stupid ass bits? The money zone had me cracking the fuck up. That takes something special for me.
Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.
Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.
I’ve been going back through early MBMBAM lately. Goddamn, it was pretty much peak podcasting. I stand by that. Early-mid harmontown, early-mid MBMBAM, maybe the first two seasons of My Dad Wrote a Porno, and maybe the first few seasons of Slow Burn. The best podcasts have to offer, I think.
Also Hello Internet (RIP).
I do appreciate when they put actual effot in but with Sponsorblock i rarely see them. This meme still applies for when they get passed sponsorblock though lol
Sponsorblock
How have I never heard of this?! I just installed it, trialled it on a YouTube video, and it’s instantly one of my favorites.
Thank you!!
For anyone in a similar boat:

After Ublock, its easily my favourite addon
We will dive into the history of this franchise, but fir—
The franchise began in 1967, when…Me:
On that note… Also take a look at DeArrow
Same dev as SponsorBlock, same concept, just for YT Titles and thumbnails.
Users can submit titles that better describe the contents and pick a neutral thumbnail.
Also request a demo if you don’t want to pay, it will get approved
i also have DeArrow and it’s such a subtle change that you don’t even realize until you’re browsing the Tube on another device. Hoooly shit. i could feel the pressure from all the clickbait.

For me it’s calebcity
Did you guys know if you VPN through Albania, you don’t see YouTube adverts?
I sure as hell didn’t until a few weeks ago.
Anyway, do whatever you want to with this information :)
Any idea of why is that?
I’ve read they aren’t legally allowed to show ads in some countries.
YouTube does not have any customers in Albania
Honestly, Grim Kleapers ads are almost a highlight to me. Such a memelord, wacky and entertaining.
Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.
Nobbleberry is my favorite show.
I was going to post Erik, if no one else did. His ads are so good.
He should be paid double for the amount of work he puts into those ads
I whitelist tomatoanus in sponsorblock just to follow his ad-read lore. Thats peak advertising.
