Please for the love of God, use uBlock origin and SponsorBlock to skip all of this automatically.

Can it run Firefox?
HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’m sure it could
Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
If it can Firefox, you can add the UBlock Origin plugin

That’s what you get for being dumb enough to buy into a proprietary walled garden, I guess. Sorry.

What an awful way to conduct yourself. Try and be better my guy.

Imagine thinking tone policing is more important than getting people off proprietary platforms.

That is not the right way to treat each other. Playing the blaming game does only benifits such companies to keep us devided and occupied while they continue to enshitify everything.

People have had decades and 5 generations of PlayStation to learn this lesson. If they still don’t get it, that’s on them.

I understand why you said this but you did not need to act like you have some higher moral standard because of it. Some people want to play video games without having to even THINK about the possibility of a game asking you to tweak a config to get the optimal experience, especially if youre a linux gamer. There are no options for people who want a console without a walled garden. Your closest shot is the Steam Deck, but the steam deck is shot in the knee by every company who uses an anti-cheat.
Before you say they just shouldnt play those games, consider the fact that some people aren’t willing to give up things they already have for Something new and unfamiliar they have to spent months to learn and years to master.

It’s funny how y’all are getting all bent out of shape at my slightly abrasive tone, while white-knighting the “victims” who excuse their ignorance and vulnerability to advertising/propaganda on the grounds of mere convenience.
But by all means, keep dog-piling on the guy who wants the problem to stop instead of those who want to perpetuate it.

I watch primaly on my PS4, is there a network based solution?

PiHole

YouTube serves ads from the same domains that serves the video so you can’t block ads with pihole for YouTube
Weirdfish@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Quick google search suggests the ads come from same domain as youtube, so wouldnt be blocked.

If you an android based tv or stick you can install smarttube. The sticks are pretty cheap now, worth it.
Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Definitely. SmartTube is better designed for TVs , while ReVanced is better for touchscreens. Both integrate ad blocking, Sponsorblock, and a bunch of QoL features.

You will still experience ads on devices if you use **only** a pihole. Many content providers (like YouTube / Reddit / Twitch / Spotify / Pandora / Facebook / IMDB / Hulu) now stream/serve ads from the same servers as the content (meaning if you attempt to block the ads using a PiHole you will also block the content).
It’s still worthwhile to use a pihole on your local network. This will be the device that helps reduce the amount of ads and blocks telemetry data on devices (mobile device / streaming box / etc) that you can’t utilize some or all of the traditional blocking methods (hosts files / browser plugins / etc). The Pi can also have additional software installed (I recommend PiVPN) to extend these blocking capabilities **securely** when you’re not on your “home” wifi.
Your best bet for blocking any and all ads/telemetry/etc is a multitiered approach of a PiHole as well as browser plugins: uBlock origin / Privacy Badger / CanvasBlocker on Firefox or Canvas Defender on Chrome / Decentraleyes / Smart Referer / Ugly Email / Pixel Block / other security browser plugins (as necessary) to prevent ads and protect your privacy.

Haven’t personally looked at the dev tools too much, but even if they come from the same domain, of the path had a unique pattern when it’s ads vs content you could use a decrypting proxy. I don’t know if the PS4 can install a custom certificate or proxy settings, the intercepted cert would possibly cause problems, but it may be possible.

What are the options for someone watching on a Roku or Firestick?
Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 day ago
synicalx@lemm.ee 1 day ago
DNS-based Adblock like NextDNS (paid service), or PiHole (DIY option). Sadly that won’t skip sponsored segments though, you’ll still have to hear all about whatever scam or wish.com garbage they’ve decided to shill.

Please do not use Sponserblock unless you support that creator in some other way; or you just don’t care about them.
jeena@piefed.jeena.net 1 day ago
I'm allergic to advertisement, I'd rather not watch a video at all than watching the ads in it. SponsorBlock for me is just an automation of what I would do anyway pressing forward 5-7 times to jump over this section. I will not buy this stuff anyway it's just a waste of my time. I go even so far that I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium because this removes the advertisement, but there is no way to pay for skipping sponsors automatically other than SponsorBlock.
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Creators don’t get money for you watching their sponsorship, only if you click through and do something with it
If you don’t plan on interacting with the sponsorship we then blocking it just saves time

Please do not try to shame people for exercising their property rights (i.e. their right to control what their computer displays, or doesn’t display).
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 day ago
The Tuber already got paid by the sponsor. And sponsors look at click trough and conversion rates not views. If I’m not going to buy what they are selling me I might as well skip the ad.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I legit hate this take. YT was started as a way for everyone to share videos with each other, not be a corporate pusher for those that want to ‘go big’. The fact that YT even offered profit sharing is awful.
Yeah, go ahead and support who you like. But don’t sit there and be like “you’re hurting them if you don’t pay them and you don’t want their bullshit ads”. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. “creators” who “make a living” from YT are the reason YT is a cesspool of dogshit now. If you aren’t on YT because of a genuine desire to simply share videos, without expecting monitary kickbacks to support your life, gtfo. The support should come naturally through other avenues.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 day ago
you could have just saved all of that when you read my comment. “unless you support that creator in some other way” you know, like your natural other avenues?
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I read it sweetheart, that’s why I replied to it. To reiterate, supporting people, especially huge ‘influencers’ with millions of subscribers, who turned a website for sharing videos with friends and their communities into their career and, as a collective, then into the internet version of cable TV in order to line their pockets and drain the lifeblood from the platform’s original goal, isn’t what I’d call a positive position to be arguing for. Just because we share one factor (that the incentive/income should come from elsewhere) does not make your overall viewpoint good, and certainly not when you try to shame/guilt others for not wanting to be force-fed shit so xXxBigBlazeIt420 can buy another car next month and promptly crash it for the views. Remember to demolish that like button, stir up some artifical chatter in the comments for the YouTube algorithm, eat some avocado toast, and if we get to 3 million subs by Friday, I’ll discount my OnlyFans for the first 500 subscribers! Now, a word from our lovely friends at SquareSpace!

If you want to support a creator, give them a quarter and block the ads. Seriously. That quarter is worth more than any ad revenue they will ever get from you watching their videos.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 day ago
uhm yeah just as I said in the comment.
Voyajer@lemmy.world 1 day ago
How dare you block all of the ads instead of only some of them
synicalx@lemm.ee 1 day ago
They either get paid by the click, or paid upfront if they’re big enough. Me watching them recite the marketing material for Raid, Nord, Raycon, Better Help, or any other scam/landfill they’ve chosen to sell doesn’t affect them financially.
pyre@lemmy.world 1 day ago
sponsorblock lets you unskip things so you can watch any sponsor you like. it also helps skip all sorts of non content, not just ads so it’s useful either way. you can set it to auto skip, no skip, manual skip prompt, only marked for any type of content (intro, intermission, filler, sponsor etc) not using it is just stupid.
with all that said, I don’t think sponsorblock affects creators at all. I highly doubt sponsors look at how much specific sections of a video has been watched. they only care about how popular a creator is, who their audience is and what they say during the sponsored section.
even if they decide whether to continue sponsoring based on how well the previous sponsored video did, the important metric would be the view count of the video, not how many people watched or skipped an ad section specifically.
if that were important creators wouldn’t split their sponsored sections in time codes they provide because they know it’s an easy skip. more importantly regardless of the creators, the sponsors would simply ask not to do it as part of the agreement. (inb4 legal requirement: I’m not talking about disclosure; I’m talking time codes specifically)
