Comment on Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube

SmartTubeNext. You can turn shorts off. It blocks ads. And it has sponsorblock so it is configurable to additionally skip sponsor segments, self-promotion, intros, outros.

I might have to look into that. I do wonder how it could know when a segment is sponsored.

I don’t care that much about the ads since we already have Premium so we don’t see the ads anyways.

  It’s crowdsourced and works quite well, been using it for the last year.

What I want is a YouTube viewer that cuts out ads that I can use on my Mac or my iPhone to use on my TV with a Chromecast.

Chromecast is how I view all my TV content.

  Check out ghcr.io/nichobi/sponsorblockcast - run it on your LAN, and it’ll use SponsorBlock to clean up any YouTube-Chromecast stream you want.

    And of course the thing I mentioned has now been superseded by github.com/gabe565/CastSponsorSkip
