Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoA YouTuber saying “before we get started, this video is sponsored by [relevant related company]” does not get blocked by ad blockers.
Well, there’s sponsor block which uses crowd sourced timestamps to skip those segments, but yeah you’re right.

I personally feel no need to get sponser block because:
Everything the ads do to force you to pay attention it to (like not being able to fast forward) makes it easier for ad blockers to detect and block.
Everything the ads do to demand your attention (by being annoying as fuck) drives people to block them.
