Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker

If for some reason you can’t use a full-on ad blocker, “SponsorBlock for Youtube” is another Firefox extension you can install. It doesn’t block ads per se, but it will auto-skip segments of a video that have been reported as ad content. Kind of a grassroots thing, like reporting cops on Waze.

Until they try to kill that too.

I don’t think Google gets any money from YouTube sponsorships directly. Not watching a sponsored segment and not clicking the affiliate link are one and the same in the eyes of the company.
