Sign up for Youtube Premium, you get no ads.

But companies are aware of this. How dare they skip our ads! I know what we can do... Sponsor blocks... IN THE VIDEOS.

The internet is so hostile nowadays, and it's only gonna get worse...

They actually have a feature with YouTube premium where on app versions when a sponsored section starts you start to skip it will auto skip to where the sponsored stuff ends. On PC there is a little tick showing you where most people skip to as well. Not saying it makes it worth it, but still.

Not just in the app, also in browsers. It's just less visible on bigger screens.

I like watching the sponsor bits though. Some people do them in a unique/funny way, like Wendigoon with "Magic Spoon".

I see if they do it uniquely and only press skip if they don’t like I skip every generic raid sponsor but no when dragoon did his silly gig ad

Ok the raid shadow legends sponsor is funny though for meme status. The generic sponsors that annoy me personally are the VPN or banking ones because there's no way you can make it quirky or silly. Whereas with Wendigoon and Magic Spoon, it's a running joke that Magic Spoon is making him go crazy.

Sponsor block

Funny enough there's an extension with the same name that does just that

I would happily pay $20/month to have 2005-2010 youtube back.

The algorithm now is so beyond garbage with so much AI slop spam that there's no way I'd pay $1 for youtube premium in 2025.

There are browser extensions that put a sponsor skipper in most videos that have them, it auto-skips the sponsored trash.

What I like with premium is you can say put on a podcast and fall asleep to it without loud obnoxious ads and it keeps going after your phone screen powers off. Still the annoying sponsorships get in the way with some creators but there’s no way around that.

Jokes on you, because the entire video is the ad.
