where's Ground News (yes i listen to boomer news commentary on youtube)
Also Rocket Money.
Spend money to save money without having to look at your own bank statements! Makes perfect sense!
Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don't know half of these companies.
And Dearrow by the same creator.
What's dearrow? Downsides?
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
Thanks, downloaded and bought it. Happy to pay for good software.
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.
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.
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
another option is to exclusively watch small youtube channels
God forbid someone gets popular and starts making money off of their passion!
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.
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.
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,
Sponsorblock go brrr
Missing Nebula
Nebula is the youtubers advertising for their own platform. It's like "like and subscribe" or "subscribe to my patreon".
They are right anyway.
I've actually never seen an elgato sponsorship
It's when somebody's elgato stops working so their logo remains the only thing on the screen for a minute or so
I'm missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.
PCBWay, the Raid Shadowlegends of electrical engineering projects
I was gonna say, for the stuff I watch pcbway is every fucking video
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".
You missed Factor.
And AG1 and skillshare
Skillshare is there, next to Hello Fresh.
Oops. So used to skipping them I guess.
I'm proud to say that I block so many ads, this is the first time I'm seeing most of these names.
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.
Did you really need to write this like you were sponsored
I swear it's unintentional
revanced user, what are yall talking about?
This was put together by someone who doesn't watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.
You watch mostly tech and video game channels, I suppose?
You guys are seeing sponsors? Don't people use sponsorblock? I've never heard of (or seen) half these things.
You would be surprised how many people still watch with the normal YouTube ads, so never mind sponsorsblock. I guess the big tech companies succeeded by dumbing everything down to bite-sized technologies. So many younger people can't even comprehend the notion of ad blockers. They are basically on the same level as boomers when it comes to tech literacy.
I'd love to see the YouTube analytics of a handful of really popular videos that have embedded sponsors. Even before the "jump ahead" feature, there must be a massive drop-off of people who just skip five or ten seconds ahead until the sponsor isn't showing again.
Morgan & Morgan have been showing up recently
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
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
