  That's why I still use Vanced. Sponsorblock is something I can't live without even though I have YouTube premium.

    You should try revanced.

      Yup. Just be careful the only real website is revanced.app and the github. All others are unofficial and can sometimes spread malware

      And SmartTubeNext on Android TV.

  Yeah, almost exclusively either Us-centric and not even available where I live, or so gosh darn expensive that I just will never use the stuff advertised (looking at you, magic spoon)

  If you’re not already using it, this is gold: sponsor.ajay.app

    It’s funny how we need uBlock Origin, SponsorBlock and maybe even DeArrow (same dev as SB) to make Youtube tolerable.

      I’d love DeArrow to be merged into SmartTubeNext.

      Watching quite some youtube on my TV, and the clickbait suuuuuuucks.

  Yeah, those are frustrating. Some channels I watch have a ton of annoying YouTube ads, where premium becomes a must for sanity. But some others have baked in sponsors that can’t be skipped (but no native YouTube ads). I wish they’d reconcile the two. It doesn’t make sense that you can pay to only block some ads, and depending on what videos you watch, that could be either the majority of ads or none at all!
